Yeah, no one probably wants this, but hey it's worth a shot. I'd rather have it go to some use than just tossed out.
I've got a slightly bent OEM exhaust (60k mi 2004 rx 8). I backed into a curb hitting the muffler portion and bending the pipe a bit. It's been like that for over a month now with no problems. However since it is bent, there is some rattle at idle as part of it contacts the hanger during when driven by low frequency vibrations. Visually, from the rear, the left exhaust is upwardly bent about 1". Maybe it's easily fixable at a shop, maybe it isn't. There's no leakage or holes anywhere.
I'll be swapping out this exhaust this coming Saturday. Before I dispose of it somehow, just wanted to make sure no one else could find some use for it.
If you want it, shoot me a PM and I'll hold it for you after it's been replaced.
