Maybe someone took it out for a joyride? I'd never let anyone drive my car unless they are certified and experienced lowered car drivers. I'm sure any good muffler shops can fix it though.

Ohhh, I bet you found the guilty party Really though I bet it's not going to affect the performance, if you didn't have the cash to fix it, I wouldn't sweat it to much.

doesn't look that bad to me and i doubt it will affect performance like Apollos said. save the $ for some other mod. because if you do get it fixed it's prob just a matter of time before it happens again.

Didn't the cattman headers come with a y-pipe? What was wrong with the ebay headers? A few members have them with no problems.
