So wait, a bolt caught and basically ripped/crushed your entire exhaust? That's horrible.

damn that sucks, thats why i dont like clamps like that, they should of used a flange not a clamp...they going to warranty that for you? technically their design caused it, shouldnt matter how many people or what u had in the trunk...

how fast were you going..?
