Default messed up my Y pipe!

Has anyone else had a problem with The underside of the car being soo low to the ground??? Its STOCK hight 03.

Today went to my cousins place to detail the car and his driveway has a tiny slope to it. I never had a problem there with my prelude, so as i pulled in with the G today not going fast at all (barely moving type thing) ALl i hear is this horrible scraping sound before i know the car is stopped on it own.

Went to pull back and at first it didnt wanted to move then after horrible frinding it moved. Looked under the car what do i see Bent Y pipe, and the Flex joints are all teared up. With strands hanging out. didnt jack the car to see if there is an exhaust leak. But any clue as to how much the OEM y pipe cost.

Also scraped the Black braces pretty bad as well.

Many new/slightly used Y-Pipes can be bought. Heck even I have one laying in my attic that I'd be willing to part with...

its ok... you just bent the cover and the flex joint cover...

mine are shreaded off and gone...

everything is fine, if you hear a rattle or something, it could be some of the flext joint material and just cut some off...

if you want a slightly used stock y-pipe I have some...

if you want an aftermarket y-pipe (wher emost of the power in the cat back exhaust is made) I can get you some of those too...
