Bummer sorry to hear that. Might be something going on with the Cat heat shield or maybe the rear subframe brace bent and rubbing the exhaust? Those rear subframe braces can definitely get bent from a bottom out, but is very cheap and easy to replace.
Ah you have a rear diffuser? Possibly that could be rubbing the exhaust now?

Isn't that bar like 27 dollars. I just picked one up from HPC and was thinking damn that's cheap but it is a very simple piece.

Lol well I guess it's good I got an "upgrade". I did feel a slight difference. It's took away some of the understeer(or introduced some oversteer) that my double front chassis stiffening introduced.

I'm headed to Joey's tonight for tranny/diff fluid change. I have to remove the diffuser so Joey can do the work. I'll take some pics and look around when we get my baby up on the lift.

And here's the damage. Looks like my diffuser bore the brunt of the damage. Lost four bolts to the road rash monster. Diffuser is coming off for a bit.
