Default Got my car on a lift...found some interesting things

Well, I got my lift installed and got my car on it. The guy who installed my Loudmouth catback with the Borla muffler installed it to where it is actually in contact with my driveshaft! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="gr_images/icons/mad.gif" /> The driveshaft is "burned" in a couple of places and the surface of it is scratched deep enough to where you can definately feel it. WTF??? I'm taking off the exhaust anyway, but what about my driveshaft? I don't know what to do about it. If it weaked my driveshaft considerably, I'm not gonna feel real comfortable launching at the track, even though I don't launch hard and I have a DS loop.

Next thing, on my DS loop, it looks like the torque arm has been hitting it. Could this be from the transmission hitting the floorboard? Could a poly trans mount cure this?

Thanks for any feedback.

The scoring from the LM probably threw off the balance of your driveshaft...
