    Exhaust Issue

    I reversed upwards into a steed driveway and this happened
    The top of the exhaust pipe now touches the black step. The pipe is bent and has a slight tear.

    Is there a simple fix or does it require mucho dinero to fix? any idea how much?

    and never mind that blue thing in the background

    A cheap quick fix a bit of heavy pipe or rod place into the exhaust and bend it away from the step

    I gave it a good go but the exhaust system had been pushed back and upwards. Looks like I'm gonna have to put up with it. Just not sure if the old girl is worth a new exhaust.

    The exhaust is suspended and attached to the truck by some rubber bushes. You might be able to adjust these enough by bending the hooks to get some clearance at the end of the pipe. Otherwise, a short directed attack with an angle grinder will allow you to shorten the final part of the exhaust to allow for driving without clatter.
