Unhappy Backed into a curb...

I backed into a curb while pulling out of a parking spot... I don't know if it hit my exhaust or what, but now my left exhaust hangs lower than my right exhaust. It's also off center... anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? This happened almost 2 months ago... it hasn't really bothered me that much cuz you can't tell the position is off unless you get down low and look at it.

It could be that the muffler simply moved on the rubber hanger and just has to be moved back. It could be that the hanger on the muffler is bent or a pipe got bent. If this is what happened, you'll have to take the muffler off and straighten it. I'd check to see if it moved on the rubber hanger. If not, I'd take it to a muffler shop. They should be able to see what's wrong pretty fast once they get it on a lift.

Been there, done that. I scraped my rear body kit piece, tore off a few screws, and twisted the exhaust system. It was soooo fucked up, it wasn't even funny. I got under the car and pulled on the exhaust system as hard as I could for like half an hour to get it back to where it was before. But the right side is still hanging like 2 inches lower than the left, and I can't fix that. I'm just gonna leave it until I get a new exhaust system.
