Bottomed Out! :( I went to Walgreens today to develope some pictures and saw the speed bumps and thought nothing of it. I thought I was on the unit (Ambulance/your taxes hard at work) or in my truck but man then she hit hard. I had a bad exhaust leak. Went in did my shopping and went home sad. So I got home and it bothered me some more. I went back out and took it to the muffler shop. I put it on the lift and the passenger side clamp was all F@#ked-up. The Y-pipe had actually come off the header. They were both hanging along side each other. So some of the Y-pipe got cut and a new piece was added and welded forever. Just thought I'd share my day.

That sucks man, but it always could of been worse at least you didnt dent or crack your header. I always try to avoid speed bump, some of those things are like mountains

Yeah, my car was bought w/ 2" lowering springs and after i did my exhaust setup (LT Pacesetters, dual cutouts, and a 3" ORY), i got caught on RAILROAD tracks and finally broke loose. Got some NASTY surges after that incident and eventually found out i had ripped the headers off the engine almost, so we had to fix that... soon after i put stock springs back on.
