It just looked so sweet sitting so low...

Well my friends drive way is a hill and there was a manhole cover that was not even half an inch off the ground. Definitely didn't expect my exhaust to catch on it, as I had driven over it numerous times. Well this time it caught. I heard a loud bang followed by scraping.

This is what I got out to.

Holy exhaust batman. This sucks. Looks like it ripped your bumper too. Oof, I hope it didn't screw up your block somehow.

Thanks. I laughed because that's so true. Every thread I see has at least one comment "Your frame isn't on the ground yet, you could go lower"

Edit:
Yeah Im worried about the block. I didn't look at it very hard since I just got home. It looks like it just ripped it from the flix pipe back so Hopefully it wasn't a on solid enough to actually pull the rest of the header away from the block.

Everything still starts up and runs, it's just really loud lol.

jesus, how low are you? looks like you caught the bumper too lol

I'm not actually that low. I could still get a jack under the car on the side. I had at least an inch or two of clearance on the exhaust. My tires tucked maybe half an inch on the stock wheels? I've never honestly measured it.

Look on the bright side - now you can play the game, "How Long Can I Drive Around Open Header Before I Push My Car Off a Cliff?"
