Exhaust doesn't sit right





My exhaust randomly shot off of a grommet and smacked my bumper, bent the tip and now it sits almost on my bumper and it's melting it, pretty bad leaks where the gaskets are. Any advice on how to fix it?

Likely one of the muffler hangers is bent causing it to be out of position. Ramp / jack up the rear & you will likely see the damage. Maybe removing the muffler & straightening the hanger will do it

The other issue is that the tip is now distorted. Maybe hard to get back into shape. A good metal working guy could probably hammer & dolly it back

If not, you may need to buy a new muffler

im not worried about the tip to the muffler. It's interchangeable. Held on by 5 hex screws but thanks for the input
