Default You know what really sucks?

When you are backing out of a drive and you knock your muffler on the ground. I was leaving my friends and it was the first time I had been to their new place. The drive is pretty sloped and has a dip at the bottom. I thought I would be ok. NO! I hit my muffler and when I put it in drive I heard it dragging. CRAP! I had knocked it off the hanger. No big deal right? Only one problem I lost the rubber piece that hangs the muffler to the piece on the frame. Finally I found it (luckily I had a flashlight). But, I had to ride home wet because I had to lay on the ground and it had started to rain. What a night!

I ought to smack you for saying something that stupid (even if I am a NOOB). What does it have to do with the muffler idiot? The muffler hit the ground. It knocked the rubber connector off the hanger that connects to the muffler. Don't treat me like I am stupid.

65º angled pull outs are a learned thing.

Don't feel bad! I was in alabama when my muffler just broke off the welding! I had to use a dog collar to hold it on for a while until i could get it fixed!

p.s. don't lower your back end until your tires are tucked! You'll waste a pair of tires in a matter of months!! Make sure you get a camber kit

Yeah I thought I was going to have to tie it to the hanger because I couldn't find the rubber piece.
