GOD your car is sick. Makes me think I'm doing mine all wrong lol.
And I hope the city is paying to fix your car. That really sucks dude.
*edit- The towhook is SICK. Where did you find the burned titanium ones?

Is tha your house? damn
What exactly happened with the manhole?
Just my opinion, but the front of your TL looks kinda busy, with the intercooler, cupholder (oh sorry, tow hook), wings, and the driver's side vent. Still one of the best-looking ones out there though

Thanks for commenting everyone!
..the tow hook is top secret!
As for the missing exhaust components, I was on the way to the beach two weekends ago and drove over a manhole that was sticking up because the road was not finished being paved. Having driven over them before, I figured it wasn't going to be an issue, but quickly found that it was a failure. The low clearance of the ATLP j-pipe probably clipped the metal manhole and in doing so it ripped the entire exhaust system off the car.
...so what you're looking at in those three pictures is what's left of the ATLP j-pipe. I've been driving around like this for almost two weeks now. Heads up to anyone with a 2 inch drop and the ATLP j-pipe. If you happen to come across a manhole like I did, there's a good chance you might have the same thing happen. I've went 100,000 miles with a 2 inch drop and cleared lots of manholes. I put the ATLP j-pipe on and after 1,000 miles of driving, the first manhole the TL drives over = FAIL.

I've got a TRUST full titanium catback intended for an Evo on the way. Hopefully it'll fit underneath the TL without too many modifications.
