Got Rear Ended Last Week

Last week Saturday, I was rear ended while stopped at a stop light, by an Infiniti G35 coupe.  The guy fell asleep at the wheel and when he woke up, panicked and floored the gas pedal...>:(

Needless to say, the guy was really sorry, and wanted to try and see if he could pay out of pocket after I get an estimate done.  I told him it might be pretty expensive since even my exhaust got bent.  The body shop did a pre estimate and saw that the tail lights are not in place and even the spare tire well was impacted from the bumper getting smashed in.  So the conservative, pre estimate came out to about $5800.  Like I thought, the guy ended up choosing to go through insurance instead.

On a good note, since the exhaust has to be changed, I'm getting the new black tip Corsa exhaust.  Going to order PPE downpipes too, but debating on with cats or no cats.  No emissions testing in Hawaii.

Go with the PPE catted DP from 4DRHTRD basically same power gains as the non catted ones and without the smell like seldom members here reporting,and good luck with the repairs.

Glad you are OK, hate to see this kind of thing happen!  Like ZSHO said, catted is the way to go.

Thanks guys!  Yeah I went with the catted down pipes and I'm getting the black Corsa exhaust.  Haha I didn't realize I sent the wrong picture through.  Good thing it wasn't anything else lol!
