Default I hurt my car!!!!!

Man let me be the first to say I am an idiot...I was parked at a damn snow cone stand and after finishing my snow cone I saw their was no car parked infront of me, so I went forward only to find out that there was a cement block infront of the parking space...u know those long cement blocks that keep your car in palce...my car seemed fine...only that it shakes when I get up to 40MPH and when I got out to look at the car...the muffler/exhaust shakes horribly...it's a 1994 Honda Civic EX Coupe....please help!!...I have to sell all this stuff in order to fix whatever's wrong with it...but could u please give me your input on what u think it might be?
P.S. I also did a U-Turn to see if I could hear a clickin noise indicating a bad axle and I didnt hear anything, I let my car go straight and it didnt swerve to the left or right so I'm guessing the alignment is fine. I think I jsut seriously messed up the muffler because my car is lowered and I looked under the car and the only damage I can think it would do was to the muffler...please help..

It was Strawberries and Cream haha, glad to see i'm not the only one thats gone thorugh this. And yes the snow cone was damn good, just not good enough to do that to my baby..when I drove it, she didnt drive right...my stock muffler was shaking badly making noises the poor thing. I'm going to get a Complete Vehicle Check tomorrow at Firestone so they can tell me the damn damage I did to it and how long it's gonna take me to save the cash to get whatever is wrong with it fixed...
P.S. if it is the muffler (praying to God) Wich one would u guys recommend I get? I want a full catback system. I want something with a deep purr/sound to it...nothing high pitched ricer style..hell no

When I drive it I feel a difference and it's noticeable whenever I hit 40MPH, the car starts to hesitate/shake it's a weird feeling....not normal...

Did you look at the oil pan? You might have bent the **** out of it and probably the oil pickup too.. Make sure you dont drive too much if there is damage in that area..

I hit a chunk of pavement and messed up my drivers floor. If you are having fuel issues, I would check the lines that run under the floor on the drivers side. I believe there are a couple fuel lines there and if the block hit the floor, you may have pinched a line.

If you are going to get a cat-back exhaust I would go with a Magnaflow system. They are stainless steel and are pretty cheap.....sounds great too...at least on my car(95 civic ex coupe)

Good news guys. I got my car checked at Firestone. Cause for shakiness = Bad case of bent rims. 3 of my rims are bent a little, they're fine. It's the left rear rim thats got a huge dent in it, those dents are causing my car to shake. They said I avoided some big problems and i'm lucky I only damaged the rims. they said the car checked out fine, the only thing they could diagnose was the bent rims. Even took the car out for a test drive. Now I need to save up cash to replace my 17 inch enkei's...

Put some thought into this before you make the purchase. Really think about the purpose of the car, and what wheels will suit it. A lot of people throw money away on 17's and find out they wanted 15's later on.
