My car's exhaust hangs so low with my SLP catted X pipe that it scrapes on absolutely everything. i cant even clear pine cones. I kept scraping it on things until my right side cat finally started bending and crunching up.
Two days ago i started noticing a metal pinging/clanging noise from the exhaust and i crawled under to find that the right side cat has been smashed flat on the bottom edge. It is reducing the flow of exhaust out that side of my exhaust and it is really noticable in the tone of the car (when i accelerate, it no longer screams in the higher rpms. it just keeps a deep semi-clogged tone.)
Could this have any negative effects on my car? Im pretty much broke right now, so im going to start earning some money for a new cat, but is my car safge to drive around for a little while with the cat moderatly crunched up?
