2 months later rest of exhaust system followed the rear muffler. Rest of it was pretty solid, but nothing can withstand new york.
broke right after the gearbox at 70mph on the highway in the fast lane, ended up driving over it in an explosion of sparks and violence. above is how it looked when we got the side of the road.
Most if it is usable so may reuse in a new muffler system. Really unfortunate part is this happened 150 miles from home, so the wife and I completed the drive with zero exhaust system. She may even speak to me again at some point.
