Last week I backed into a large rock/boulder used for landscaping.

I think it just jumped out begind me!

:lol:

The right rear stainless exhaust tip was punched in three
inches with two crimps in the tailpipe. Ouch! :(

The Stainless tip was fine. :up:

I had a new right tailpipe made and welded in behind
the muffler with the tip re-welded in behind that.

Came out looking good as new for a cost of $240.

D*** that first hit really hurts.

Watch out for landscaping boulders!

Well better a landscaping boulder than a tree! Or a dog...

OR ALL THREE!!!:up:

It's a learning process eh?

You must not have damaged your tailpipe as badly as I.

My tailpipe was kinked in two places!

Glad you got off easy!

As if Hondas wern't bad enough, now we gotta add dogs, trees and landscaping boulders to the MM's list of things to avoid? :eek:

So far I have had two sparows commit suicide by flying into mine while it has been mobile, but luckily no damage. :up:
