Woke up this morning to go to work, and noticed my mufflers pinging and rattling while hitting suttle bumps in the road. Pulled over and noticed this....




Have no idea what the heck happened. Damage is isolated to this area only. No damage to rims or any other areas. ?????? Girlfriend drove truck last night but, didn't notice anything out of the norm....UGhhh!

 

Looks like someone went up over a curb.

Man that sucks.

 

+1......Sorry to see such things!

 

Girlfriend drove your truck, that is what happened. Sorry to see the damage.

 

theirs your answer.
i keep my wife as far away from my truck as possible.

 

You live and learn... Next time she can take her Jeep....

 

willly that sucks man... but now you can get a custom paint job as well as a new exhaust, may have to sell her jeep to pay for it and buy her a bus pass, LOL

 

she rolled your truck right over or right into a curb. Nothing else does that.

It happened to mine a while ago.

 

Welll i guess it makes it less pain full to clean the tips.!

 

Wow that sucks sorry

(for the record when I was married my Wife WAS NOT allowed to drive my cars, ya it pissed her off but oh well)

With a little muscle you can bend those suckers right back in place
As for the scratches you'd be surprised what you can wet sand out and then compound
and polish back to perfection.... ; o )

Wet Sand, Compound, Polish, Colored Wax and an Electric buffer
and your as good as new (if there's enough paint in that area ???)

 

Yeah but you will need to get a hammer from a Chevy tool kit
and tap out that dented tip.

The plastic skirt section can be removed and taken to a paint shop.
Get the misses to drop it over with her charge card details

Check you tyres and rims for any cuts, bulges or damage.

 

When did you do that !!!!!! p.s you need tires lol

 

Looks like the brunt force knocked the system off of the hangers. If I can't bend the pipe tip to where it looks perfect like the second, I will just cut the tips off and replace with fresh one. It been bugging me all night, to where i couldnt sleep. I will have the exhaust system back in working order by mid-day.

On the other hand the scrathces will have to take some work. I almost thought about sanding prepping, use a plastic primer, then paint that one little section flat black. I saw a red truck with that section painted black, around the chrome tail pipes and was impressed with the looks. It really accented the the pipes and gave the truck an aggessive look.

Anyone have any pics of their truck painted black on that little section around the pipe tips? Im in limbo with the paint.. If so bad it cant be buffed, I will try the black paint as discussed before. If not I just buy a whole new piece and start over.
Really SUX, theres not a ding or scratch on this truck except for this lil mishap.....

Thank chris

 

you didn't happen to wake up IN your truck IN the middle of a cornfield did you??

(did the same thing one night on one of my drunken road crusades)

 

We're not that lucky in the big city. Jail is our overnight hangout during one of those adventures.

Looks like the truck took a tight turn and hit a high curb. Bassanni exhaust stood out about 2 and half inches. It took the brunt force of the curb and busted the hangers underneath. Investigating it more closely, you could see where the rear tire was scuffed due to running allong a curb.
