this was aquired today (6/21/08) while taking a police recommended detour around a parade in town today. and down a street with an extreme dip in the road. i am more than pissed!! :evil: :evil: :evil:
1st because my under body looks ****ed up
2nd because my flex pipe is broke and when i drive, my car sounds like im flushing a toilete
3rd because 1 and 2 piss me off so much! :cry:
i need help finding new pieces because im pretty sure my warranty doesnt cover ****ed up directions. can anybody help??
Re: destroyed...sorta.. help?
that metal piece is a cover near the o2 sensor I believe so it shouldnt matter, and that "flex-pipe" shouldnt matter much either, I highly doubt the city will pay for anything, especially if the car is lowered or if you were speeding. I'd say since you have the megan muffler and just got your exhaust done, just go all the way, headers back and make sure to put a resonator in :lol:
Re: destroyed...sorta.. help?
GREAT excuse to get the exhaust done now...does suck tho..
Re: destroyed...sorta.. help?
The Flex pip is WAY over priced, your best bet.. as far as on a budget goes, is to have that section replaced with a piece of pipe...
Re: destroyed...sorta.. help?
its not the metal O2 cover that is damaged. the pipe itself is dented inward, but im not sure if that is so bad. and as for the flex pipe if i just get another pipe isnt that bad :?: cuz i thought that those were necesarry so the exhaust pipes dont twist and whatnot. maybe im confused :|

Try to find a car with an OEM flex pipe the size you need (I used one from a Saturn). A flex pipe isnt something that is a "must have" but rather its something that is "better to have" so that the exhaust doesnt move and jerk with the engine
Re: destroyed...sorta.. help?
ive hit some pretty pretty big dips with lowering springs and ive never scrapped my exhaust, only the plastic/ metal under the bumper that protect the radiator...how fast were u going
Re: destroyed...sorta.. help?
id talk to the city anyways, **** em! what kind of dip was it? you should go back and take pics of it.
Re: destroyed...sorta.. help?
Did you just get a Cat Back Done? now you can get headers and finish the pipes........
I can give you the number for a Good Lawyer in Encino, CA or i can give you the Number of a Drunk Lawyer that just lost his Bar for his 4th D.U.I. Just Kidding about the Drunk Lawyer Not Kidding about him losing his BAR for a 4th D.U.I.
Re: destroyed...sorta.. help?
i was doing 40. it was an alley detour and i had no traffic in front of me. so its not only the city's fault; i am half at blame. im just happy i didnt do any suspension mods yet.
i scraped the plastic, but its not too bad, just some minor cosmetics. and i never really look under my bumper for prettyness.
i dont have pics of the street its too dark at the moment. but i will search for it if possible.
and no i didnt get the cat back. it was just a simple pipe replacement this far. the cat back is to get done in the near future.
