Am I dealing with a frame issue, or are they there just to keep the exhaust system from falling out?

I'm not so sure if that's under comp. My insurance said if I hit anything at all, it's collision (Oh, I know. And they gave me $50 more than the max payout w/o affect my rate, so they can jack me $400 over the next 3 years. Aholes). Comprehensive will cover hit and run though, so unless you file it as the dog hit you and die
Come to think of it, my brother did hit a deer and it was covered under comp, so I guess it depends on your insurance company.

as long as IT HIT YOU, it was un avoidable . . it is comp
and since the dog was still moving when we met . . it is comp. . . I hope

so animal services claims it was a coyote.
uh . . . okay
but the 2 cross members are off now. I am hunting them down. The cat is thrashed where the O2 sensor goes in to it. I am hoping the cat is not bad.
Hopefully a little welding . . .a couple new cross members . . and a new O2 sensor and I am good.
Or my insurance company said I could make a claim, pay my $100 deductable and get a whole new exhaust system . everything behind the headers

I think they are there to prevent the midpipe from "falling" out. I'm really not completely sure on this issue so if someone has better insight, please post away!

That dog didn't leave a pair of shoes behind, right?
