Just hit the pothole from Hell
 
I just ripped my exhaust off of my car from the DP back, i figured id post before i go back down the road to pick up my once beautiful custom 3.5' mandrel bent exhaust from the side of the road somewhere. Ill post some pics as soon as i get back but its def not gonna be good :(.

But now you got that exhaust flow freed up.

Big88chevy 10-27-10 03:46 PM

Its gone, in 5 minutes someone fucking took my exhaust. My car is now gonna be down until i get money to make another exhaust, this sucks balls.

Few hundred bucks and you pick up some used parts in the For Sale section and piece together a single muffler setup or something. Sorry about your luck man..

leason here kids is pick up any parts falling of your car before making thread lol

and that sucks man. Ah I'd be cursing all night if that happen to me.

fist pump of rage.

10yearrx7 10-27-10 08:39 PM

leason? What is a leason?

but seriously why didn't you stop and pick it up when it happened? Or sit with it until someone could get it for you? (I just thought about it wouldn't fit in your car and was probably hot)

This happened to me 5 years ago. They were doing construction on my street and put giant metal plates over some huge holes. One edge of the plate caught my exhaust flange and ripped it off the car and bent the y pipe.

I took the car to Speedy and had them write up an estimate of how much it would cost to fix.... and then forwarded it to the city. Since the road was under construction, they forwarded the estimate to the construction company who paid it in full! Yup, over $1000 paid in full - enough for a racing beat system.

Well a lot of cursing and some drinking I'm ok now. I still hope whoever took it dies a slow horrible death, but now I'm just gonna build a dual setup now.

Maybe it was a cop or someone actually intending to clean the city up. Whatever the case, sorry about your loss. A custom 3.5 inch mandrel bent (hopefully stainless steel) exhaust must have been pretty nice. How much did it cost and what type of shop did it for you?

Sometimes, when i see road hazards, i will STOP in the middle of the road, turn my hazards on and if it's a mattress, tree branch or box, i will heave that shit into the woods, someones yard, wherever as a courtesy to other motorists. Maybe that's what happened?

Come to think of it, in hurting times like this, your exhaust could get someone like 5-10 bux at a scrapyard. Enough for a pack of smokes and McDonalds.

Big88chevy 10-28-10 02:01 AM

I called the local police and tomorrow I'm checking with public safety. Exhaust cost about 600 and I did it myself with pre bent piping.
