i had stillen check the exhaust and they siad its bent out of shape and would be cheaper to get a replacement(not in my funds right now)
so im thinking of just putting the stock exhaust back on

i know my alignment is off since my steering wheel is slightly to the right when im driving straight as i drive to stillen about an hour in the vdc light and slippage indicator came on
it stayed on until i turned the car off then it disappered when i turned it on again

you think im better off having the dealer check it? as i check the car this morning the only part that hit in the car was preety much the exhaust i dont know why my alignment was thrown off

on another note i notice my AC wasnt blowing cold air

dunno how that got affected

hopefully all this would be under warranty

maybe theres another part of the car you hit(underside)thats not visible which is causing all the symptoms youre mentioning. If youre a/c is out, odds are you pinched an a/c line somewhere. The same thing happened to my jeep off a left front corner hit(nowhere near impact point mind you).

I'm sorry to hear this Marco. The important thing is that you're still in one piece!

No problem... Scott's attending a track event today, I told him to pm you once he gets back. If you can shoot him a pm also to remind him...

You could always use a measuring tape and measure the wheel gap. Compare driver side to passenger side to see if you bent the frame. Like front wheels to front bumper...etc

At least you'll know if it's bent or not right away... Even if it's 1/8 off, it's bent. Also, have a look at the sub-frame too.

so had the alignment fix problem 1 solved

now my thing is the ac is not working had a local dealer check it
turns out there is a leak in the ac line where the stillen intake is on top off gggggrrrrrr
so now dealer wont cover it under warranty
they want almost 800 for it and 600 is just labor i was like heck no

question for scott and danny is there something u guys can do to put this under warranty???....its kinda hard to shell out that can of $$

another question would there be any long term damage if i just leave it be?(assuming i adjust the intake so it wouldnt rub anymore(yes i did put the rubber lining but somehwat came loose)
is there a ghetto fix to this??
