Well I think you get the idea from the title. So i was driving home today and drilled a rock or piece of concrete in the road. amnit: when i got home i looked under my car to see what part i hit and of course it was one of the headers. One of the 4 tubes is smashed in about half way or more. Is that really bad?? What should I do if anything??

Another con of longtubes...ground clearance.

To bad I'm ordering them in less than a week.

Hope you find a resolution, my stock H pipe is smashed in nicely as well (bottomend out).
