oh and it was straight back into the curb, something is not right because my car feels like a big boat, also when i take turns i literally dont have control at slow normal speeds (backend comes around) sorta like rwd - control arm maybe?

well maybe if you reversed at lyk 50 mph the muffler hit the curb and the pipe hit the back control arm but i doubt that the lil exhaust pipe could do anything to a control arm

Check to see if your piping didnt hit anything, though its hard to see that it would. But really, the best thing you can do is look under for yourself, because there is not enough info you provided for us to determine. If anything, could it be bad roads?

Yea, its really hard to tell anything with the information we have. But with what info we have....muffler tapping is no way related to hard pulling to the right or left.

i never said it was front end related damage, i said its pulling to the left now, and the backend is very very out of wack, when i drive in a straight line on any road the back wheels feel crooked, like my front wheels are going straight but my back wheels are angled, it wont get anywhere near straight for more then a very short time

well i really think that its cause your throttle cable is linked with your timing belt and the control arms are in the front and rear, therefor your v-tec is a little off.

check your tires. get 'em pulled off, look for screws or nails in them, and have them rebalanced. get your rear end re-aligned, and while it's getting aligned, have them check the rear suspension for anything out of the normal.

Yea, the least you could do is look under there yourself. Check anything if its loose, or possibly missing.
