Bottomed out hard on a speed bump
Bottomed out hard on a speed bump
So like i said i bottomed out hard on this damned two foot tall speed bump and heard this loud scrape on the underside, i didnt know what it was but i was hoping it wasnt anything serious so i decided to wait till i got to the paintball field to see what damage i did, well about 15 minutes later i'm driving through downtown Ft. Worth and i stop at this stop light next thing i know i hear this kinda metal on metal scraping clunk sound then all the sudden this loud sound like i had open headers starting coming from the bottom of my car, sounded like it was coming from somewhere between the back end of the engine and the middle of the car, no futher no farther. I dont know what i did when i hit that speed bump or if that had anything to do with it, i'm sure it did. When i got to the paintball field i checked under my car the best i could without climbing under it but all i could see was this big black mark along side the cat. but i dont know if it has i hole in it. If anybody remotely knows if i did anything please tell me, i think i might have punched a hole in my cat.

you need to get underneath and examine the damage. obviously you now have an exhaust leak so find and fix that. make sure you didn't rip a pinhole in the oil pan or the trans pan.
