Hey all,
I was driving in a field in the dark last night, and managed to drive my front tires off a ledge and bottomed out on a rather tall rock. After being pulled out, the car is running quite rough and loud, and i can see that i completely crushed the exhaust where it goes into the drivers side Catalytic converter, tearing the pipe open.
I've tried searching for cat removal and/or replacement. I'm looking to do a junkyard or DIY fix but I don't have access to a shop until next week and I'm wondering how easy it is to do in the driveway (at or below freezing temperatures). If anybody has any comments or suggestions for a fix, or a way to get the car through till next week without it sounding like a small airplane please post.
