Second problem today! Exhaust fell off
First the wipers, now my exhaust pipe fell off... It was in my driveway, so no damage. It tore all the rubber mounts. I disconnected it at the coupling under the car, and tied the section coming from the downpipe with some wire so it can't get too low. I tend to drive with the windows open, so theres no worry about fumes, but will there be any heat issues under the car? I only plan on leaving it like this until this weekend, when I can go to the junkyard and hopefully grab the suspension parts I need, and some pipes, since its already off, might as well go with stright pipes... I love the sound..louder than a semi

Can't argue with the sound. Are the coupling bolts, nuts, what have you, not damaged? Unfamiliar with suspension parts concerning exhaust system. There are "dounut" hangers that apparently have failed, available at chain AP stores, albeit at a price. Good luck.

I took off the bolts myself, it was just sitting on the ground, still connected. The rubber hangers are the only things broken. Is letting the exhaust out under the car for the next 2 or 3 days ok?

Not the header, the spring like flexible pipe leading down from the turbo. I disconnected it from coupling between the downpipe and the resonators.. I'm pretty certain nothing has been bent.

I drove around for several weeks with just the down pipe before I had my straight pipe put on, including a cross state trip. Don't sweat it.
