On my way home to work, I ran over some metal piece and it was hooked to something. I can hear it dragging from the rear. So while I pull into a parking lot, there was a small dip on the road I need to go over, then I heard a big bang noise. Then I was like uh oh. Parked the car then I found my left F.I CF can was damage. See pic below. What you guy think on this damage? It seem like in punch thru the can.

Good news: The hole is repairable. Bad news: The repair will most likely always be noticeable.

Do you have any more pictures from different angles?

It's done. I will PM you on finding a replacement with out going to FI. You may have to wait but there's a slight possibility you won't have to. Or go with straight pipes.

Ripped both my canisters...I was so hurt. but a buddy rigged by...i think I have pics of the rig in my album. FI offered a great price to replace the canisters but since I'm trading this summer I decided to save the money. Sorry to see it happened to you tho.
