bottomed out exhaust. am I ok?

[WesternMD_VR4]

Dented the bottom in pretty good. just curious if I should replace/cut or something or if it'll be fine how it is. it may just be in my head but it seems a lil more raspy at higher rpm.

I did exactly the same thing in Norfolk. I was good but I checked for exhaust leaks at the o2 housing because I hit that pothole so damn hard.

Looks to me like you need a new downpipe. Not because of the dent, but because whoever fabbed it up made it hang down way too low. If it's still bolted in place in the pic, it's hanging down below the car too far, and that's also why it got crushed.

It does hang real low whoever did the exhaust ran it a few inches under the rear axels and its sitting way to low...

I'd say get a new downpipe. luckily, you can get one off ebay for pretty cheap. and it'll fit better than that.

Lol. I see, now. That's not the downpipe. That sh*t hangs wayyyy to low. Ur gonna have to fix it, or it will keep getting destroyed. Maybe there's a local exhaust shop that can help you out?

Yea damn its hanging too by the rear diff. Thats pretty low. Fix it asap! Is it hitting the driveshaft too?

 

[WesternMD_VR4]

no its running along the drive shaft fine but they ran it under the rear axels so much further than it needed to be. its actually so low if you roll a softball under the car it will get stuck between the exhaust and the ground.
