So...
I left my g/f's house this morning.. picked up gas at at station I don't usually go to.. thinking about some crazy morning $ex instead of taking care of my baby.... pulled out onto a busy street really fast to slip into the flow of traffic... drove right off the f'n curb!!!! ***** F$%@#()%#@().
scrapped the front bumper a little... not bad.. but also flattened the tips of my exhaust!
Does anyone know if the tips can be 're-rounded'? I don't want to look like an @ss at the muffler shop if I don't have to. This could be a good excuse to go with an FI cat back...
$hit I feel like such an idiot!!

Damn. I know the sound must have been like "oh-my God". At least you didn't detach your whole exhaust like my friend did on his Z!

sorry to hear. It's possible a pipe expander can re-round out your tip. Try a mufffler shop. good luck
That crazy morning $ex will rot your brain. Sorry to hear about your G.

A muffler shop could try to get them round again but the cost of removing
them and labor would probably exceed the cost of new tips. I hope that's
all the damage you did. Next time it's on a lift check everything out.

Here are the pics.. left is not as bad as right.. but still.. D@MN IT!
Thanks for the kind words... I guess it isn't as bad as rippin the whole thing off... still feel like an @ss
I did stick my head underneath when I got home.. didn't see anything.. I really should get it up on the jack stands and roll all the way under...

on the plus side it kind of looks like an exhaust tip of a 911 
although that does suck; i think you're best off just buying new tips.

It your exhaust stock. If it is then it time to shop for an after market exhaust.

They can probably get it pretty close by heating and banging it around. It doesn't look too bad though.
Also, a cheaper alternative, buy new tips and have them welded on.
