hey guys,
I was at midas to get an oil change... (don't have the equipment right now to do my own) the tech was backing my car out of the bay and slammed into one of those pointless curb islands.. anyways it bend the muffler 90 degrees to the right. They are going to replace the muffler and what not but i'm concerned there may be further damage in the front. Is it possible that the force broke the ceramic in the catalytic converter? Right now there is barely any back pressure and its rattling at idle when the a/c is on. they left a hole in the the inlet where the muffler is mounted which im sure is the reason for the back pressure issue. What are the signs of a broken catalytic converter? or how can i check ?
