Default scraped underside of car, questions.

I was going over a driveway that I thought I could clear without a problem but it was a little to steep. I looked under the car and noticed the y pipe where the metal knitting is, the right side is a little scraped but not too bad. Is this a big deal?

Thanks

same, im on coilovers as well and im slammed to the ground. i scrape over anything on the road, after awhile, your flex pipes might tear then eventually leak. thats wen you know its time to upgrade to a true dual exhaust cause the pipes tend to hang a little higher.

It pisses me off because I just bought the Nismo exhaust, my official first boo-boo. Thanks for the info guys! Makes me feel alittle better.

That flexible mesh on the Y-pipe covers a section of pipe itself, so you could tear the mesh up pretty good or off altogether and still be ok with no leaks.
