Default exhaust

I was recntly at a new years party, i swear i didn't drink. Anyways i missed the road an was back up an hit a mound of dirt, so i had to cleaned my tips. Upon further inspection i noticed my passenger side tip was pushed up into the back side of the car underneath. It also bent the tube running into gthe muffle back an kinked it would this affect power it feels like its running bad an doesn't want to accelerate as good. It didn't do anything to the muffler at all you think it would be pretty easy to pull the pipe out or heat the pipe up ? this just sucks this happen cause im not even drunk dam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah it did sound awful, grinding an stuff its not a bad kink. I just feel when you really love your car you notice everything, if i can't get it out i may just keep the tips an then cut the exhaust a few inchs out from the muffle on both sides. Never did get to drunk just had a good buzz going
