So, I was cruising on a country style road at about 70mph and I notice this massive metal object (5" high probably) at the last second. Had no choice but to cruise over it. Aimed it down the middle and heard the saddest clunk sound. I turn the car off incase of oil pan, diff, engine ect. I check it out and no leaks or major damage except the exhaust and lower tie bar brace.
I guess its a good thing It wasn`t worse (oil pan, diff, gas tank ect) however, my question is should I replace these parts immediatly?

I would replace the tie bar brace within a week. Exhaust can wait.

I appreciate the fast reply. I guess I should just go aftermarket for the brace?

Perhaps it is just me but I tend to prefer OEM stuff on this car. Lots of comments over time seem to indicate OEM just lasts longer and of course, is a better fit.

I have hit stuff (other vehicles) and sometimes damage is not readily apparent. You may want to find lift and give it a good inspection.

That little rear subframe brace is like $15 on Majestic. I'd probably just order it from your local Honda dealer cause it'll be cheaper than paying shipping from Majestic.

Or just leave it as is; it doesn't look that messed up at all and it hardly does anything anyway.

I agree. I will do some research on the brace. I also agree to to the further inspection point, I will ask around at local shops and see if I could take a look at it.

Invidia says its 175 for the mid pipe. Season is almost up, I think I will wait to replace that.
