Just waiting for my new UR single exit to come so I can reinstall the factory cat and have that all looked at
Did you tell the insurance company about the damage to the exhaust? I'm sure they will replace everything that is damage.

It wasn't doing this at the time, it was only a slight exhaust leak. So I figured I could just DIY it. I was going on 21 days of driving some CVT Nissan and just wanted my car back. Probably ****ed myself over

Some pictures from the accident

Really seem to think it damaged the turbo or manifold with how far my exhaust got pushed in. The lady hit me on a 30 mph road and Geico keeps saying theres no way that it couldve been caused by the crash. Cars going to a Mitsu Dealership Friday

After accident:

Dude you rear bumper cover and exhaust is messed up from the accident. As for your exhaust leak I couldn't tell. What is your insurance going to do about it?

The rear cover is fixed now and the exhaust portion was replaced. But I don't know of too many cars that have had manifolds crack with only 18000 miles. Especially when it's been babied and never seen a winter

It's now a UR single exit exhaust and everything's good down there. Just makes you wanna cry when you pop the hood to put fluid in and you see exhaust coming from under the heat shield. And the guy from geico said to take it to Mitsubishi for diagnostics and if it is from the accident, they'll pay. I just don't get how something that started the second after the accident, with the exhaust being pushed in easily 3-4 inches could be deemed not from it? And does anyone know if autozone still reads codes for free?

The last time I was there they still do read codes for free. If it started after the accident then I would ***** and complain about it to the insurance company.

Just had the obd2 read, well, it says no codes. So I'm just lost on why the service required light is on. Just has been serviced

Your car is running funny because your exhaust manifold is cracked. Causing the o2 sensor to not read right.

Yup. The guy at the service dept read it and it is a clutch pressure related code. Guess the guys at autozone ain't worth a **** for reading codes. He reset it and if it comes back on soon it'll get a tranny overhaul
