It only bugs me wondering if there is less air flow. If I had 3" pipes I wouldn't worry about it. My car only has 1 3/4" primaries on the headers so there was no real need for 3" but it would be nice now.

Sorry to hear your misfortune PQ, luckily you know it's ok besides the CM but that's an easy fix.

But is your car all good now?

Well, the cutouts won't stay shut completely. But that only make it sound bad ass.

Other than that everything is fine.

Holy cow!!! That's a lot of dings and scraps..... Shouldn't hurt the exhaust flow though.... That stinks..... Sorry about the damage... I guess lucky it wasn't worse?

Ahh, come on and fess up. Us Alabama drivers have to go off roading every once and a while......

litle88 · 02-25-2013, 06:04 PM

techinny · 02-25-2013, 07:09 PM

Damn, I guess it did mess things up under there. I sorta feel responsible seeing as I "helped" you go for the NOWEEDS, but there is more torn up than that!!

Bo White · 02-25-2013, 07:31 PM

Reminds me of what I seen when I was a kid hanging out on the side of the highway with my bicycle. Elderly lady that lived in my community drove like 30mph everywere she went because she couldnt see g=had the tranny rebuild in her car. Drove it home that evening and I just happed to be down by the hwy. She came by me waving and just as she went by the driveshaft came out of the tranny and polevaulted the rear of the car up in the air about 3 feet. I run over to her and ask if she was OK.
"Somebody shot me!" she cried to the top of her lungs.
Priceless to this day.....
