So i took my car in to have my Magnaflow exaust installed today, and while the car was up on the lift, i had a chance to poke around underneath and do a general inspection. During my inspection, i can across this damaged line. The line comes out from thedriver's side wheel-well and runs the entire length of the vehicle. It is accompanied by two other, smaller, lines.It looks like someone put the jack in the wrong place (driver's side front) and crushed this line when lifting the vehicle, but i don't know what line it is and if it is causing any performanceor operational issues. It's badly crushed, but not to the point that the tube isleaking.....or i don't think it's leaking.You really can't see it from the pics, but the backhand-side of the line is crushed inwards (concaved). Here are some pics:

[It isthe top line as you look at the pics]




p.s. - i'm very happy with my new exhaust - love the sound

 

brake line I believe...

congrats on da new exhaust!

 

Thanks - i only had them install the muffler and i kept the resonator on. I was going to have them do a cat-back exhaust for me, but i didn't realize i had 2 cats(?) with 2 pipes that feed into one. The guy at the shop mentioned something about it being California exhaust/emissions?

 

yeah, if I was you I would go 2.5" from the "y" where both sides connect (right after the cats) all the way back to your new muffler...

you gotta keep your cats to pass emissions in CA...from what I can see in your license plate, that's not a CA late tho....if your car is registered in another state where you dont need to pass smog, then you can w/2 downpipes and run a 2.5" straight back....

yeah, in the pic it looks like you may be mission a little fluid...are your brakes gettin spongy?...you may want to have that either patched or replaced...

take it easy!
