Exhaust. Got in a wreck.

I got ass ended, I was almost stopped and the idiot who was tailgating me hit me doing around 25. I was wondering if I could salvage this exhaust? As I didn't report it to the police as it was some farm kid that didn't want to get in trouble... I felt bad, it was odvious he wasn't paying attention. That's not what this thread is about, and please don' say anything about the accident.

Re: Exhaust. Got in a wreck.

or cut the exhaust before the axle and get a couple 90 degree bends and make it exit in front of the wheels

Re: Exhaust. Got in a wreck.

Yeah no biggie, it isn't structural or anything. Just pop in a new pipe and Pow! Good as new. On a side note, since the pipe is relatively inexpensive it wouldn't hurt to maybe have the kid spring for it. A police and insurance company free lesson in paying attention while driving. Just my 2 pennies.
