so we finish my swap late saturday night and I start driving around (swap details will be in another post) Tonight I'm on my way home from Chicago. My car was loud all weekend since I have no cat right now and the pipe to my muffler had rusted through and snapped of a few months ago. At some point it starts getting louder and i have no clue why. Then all of a sudden it gets real loud and the floor is vibrating a little.
I roll down the window and hear metal scraping against the ground. I now realize that my center pipe broke right underneath where the shifter is and the resonator is now dragging on the ground. I'm right near my exit and I live like half a mile from there so I decide tpo try and hold out until I get to my house. When I hit the exit ramp the pipe that was dangling by one hanger slides over and the part where the muffler broke off hits against the tire. Hot jagged metal and rotating rubber don't go well together. My tire blows out and I'm starnded with no jack in my car and the key for my locking lugs is at my friends house where we did the swap. My tire is basically severed all the way through in a perfect circle on the inner side. My friend came and got me and drove me around and right now my car has almost no exhaust piping and is sitting on the midget doughnut spare that honda gives you.
