Tanabe might sell a universal muffler tip for ricers, but you can take the tip to an exhaust shop with the catback and get them to weld it together. Or maybe tanabe sells just the muffler section through a special order or something. I know that my catback has a long pipe in two sections from the cat, and then it turns and connects with the muffler section. Only ideas i have, is it just me or does your UK badge seem a little off?

Had this happen to my jeep (different vehicle, ya, i know)......don't even bother with the tip, get his insurance to pay for the whole exhaust as it will never be right if it's fixed.

I hate when stuff happens like that....call your insurance company and show them the receipt of your muffler...they should give u a check....just spray the rear bumper....

That sucks. But it doesn't look like too much damage. The tip of the muffler also looks like it can be cut off and weld a new tip.

I just got hit in the front and got a check from other guys' insurance and now I got a chokets front end, and a whole bunch of other stuff. this is a good time to think about a jdm rear end or something. doing the work yourself is much cheaper and yields more parts and whatever you need to fix it. it is not fraud if they write you a check. then you can do whatever you want.

Sum = Some.

But seriously...were you in the car when you got hit? If this wasn't a hit and run, the person who hit you should have their insurance take care of it. Definitely sucks. Good luck working it all out.
