Hey all,
So I was coming home early today to get tags on the Yaris. I'm on the bypass, in the center lane, and there lays what looks like a piece of the roller table you see used to move boxes around a factory. There was a nowhere to go as I was pretty much boxed in. Hit the brakes as hard as I can and... WHAM! Got home (short drive) and assessed the damage. No holes or leaking fluids, no new shiny spots under the front of the car, spot a blister on the passengers side front tire and then I head to the back of the car. Right where the main exhaust pipe transitions from the flatish aerofoil shape back to a round shape the pipe is crushed almost flat. I am getting some exhaust flow out the pipe but it isn't much and power is down so... I need suggestions. New pipe? Repair? Aftermarket (is there such a thing?). I appreciate any and all suggestions. Thank you, everyone :)
