****EDIT: PROBLEM FIXED WITH PICTURE POST #21****

I saw this morning that my left side exhaust was somehow pushed in. The right side is fine. I did not hit anything nor did anyone hit me. I just went to the mall last night and everything was fine. However, the engine was making louder noises when I drove last night but I didn't think much of it. Anyone know how I can fix this or if damage was done? The engine does make louder noises when I gas it...like a deeper tone

Here are some pictures:

1. Left side (pushed in)


2. Right side (perfectly normal)


3. Close up of left side exhaust


4. Under the car (left side)


5. Another close up (left side)


I tried moving the exhaust but it seems solid and does not move. I have no idea what the problem is. First I thought only the exhaust tip was pushed in but then I realized the left side was totally pushed in.

it looks as if the upper left side is wedged behind your bumper, try pushing in than down

did you go off a curb or something and hit your exhaust?

you probably hit something...take it to the dealer tell about that is a warranty issue...

The exhaust bounces around a lot when you are driving. Maybe you hit a big bump and it got wedged in there.

Yah.. check the hangers too.. it definitely looks like you did hit something though

I don't think I hit anything but maybe it was a pothole or someting. No idea but I will lift up soon on Rhino Ramps to get a better view underneath and update.

That tip slips on and off. Try pulling on the tip it should slide off. At that point you should get a better idea on what needs to be adjusted.

It almost looks like someone kicked it in. The piece should pull out, but might have to use a screw driver or something like that to leverage it out. However, I have a feeling it will now be a bit loose in the correct position.

This exact same thign happened to me when my bro was backing into a stall. Unlikely that someone had enough force to kick it in. All you have to do is get under the car and push the exhaust up and out of the wedge

Alright thanks man. Did you use any tools or anything or just your hands to push?

its just the hangers. you can see its leaning in your pic. easy fix to just get under the car and make sure they are all in place and adjust them if need be. nothing to worry about.

yea just pull it out of the hangers some and it should realign again.

Think back to any steep driveways you might have gone over recently. Sometimes you don't even hear the back end when it's scraping, but it happens. I know one driveway at a local club here in L.A. I will not allow the vallet to take my car on because everyone's *** gets scraped. P.S. Clean those tips! P.S.S Good luck!
