Just got back from scraping the sh&t out of the bottom pulling out of a damn parking lot.

I just got under the car with a flashlight one of the metal "mesh" connectors following the Cats is all frayed up bad. Was still hot so didn't try to touch it to see if there were any actual holes or anything.

But can someone tell me if fraying these things is a bad thing or will it be fine and should I just stop worrying?

Please see in the pic below, look inbetween point 3 and 4 the "mesh" looking connectors from the two tubes leading to the one:

that's flex tubing... you should hear an exhaust leak, if there is a hole... if no sound, don't worry...

if there is a sound, i have my stock one i could sell you

Thanks for the quick reply. I had the windows down in the garage and listening for an unusual sound but it sounded normal to me.

Will probably get under it tomorrow and see what it really looks like cause it really is frayed with pieces of the tubing sticking out all over...

If yours is torn up you can have mine. Just pay for shipping. I'm moving to AZ and don't want to move that crap anyways, so I'll probably throw it away.

Thanks for the offer man.

I'll definitely PM you if I'm going to need the part after I get under the car tomorrow.

Just came back from bringing it to the dealer, figured since I was only 200 miles away from an Oil Change, might as well bring it in and see what they said. It's fine. Thanks for the part offers though

But....

I now have another problem, on the way back from the dealer the below story happened which I'm opening up in another post. Not my weekend for the Z. Can anyone help with the below issue?

Long story short, just hit a piece of metal that was kicked up infront of me on 75. Have two scratches in on the drivers side now and one is definitely through the paint.

Can anyone point me to a body shop they know is good, reasonable cost wise and will have no problem in matching factory paint? (Silverstone)

Good to hear your undercarriage is ok, sorry about the scratches. I have no info on Atlanta, but good luck with it.
