I went over a speed bump today and the car bottomed out and I heard a scrape sound.

Could I have damanged something?

I got a flashlight and looked underneath but I didn't see anything obiously damanged and it drove fine.

 

Just make sure the cats aren't damaged. Other than that you have nothing to worry about.

 

Check the fetzer valves. They always take it the worst when you bottom out

 

What are Fetzer valves and where are they?

 

 

 

The '05+ cars no longer use the fetzer valves. With all due respect to 2MFF, of course, he was thinking of the previous generations.

For our cars, it's actually the muffler bearings that can get damaged if you bottom out.

 

Now c'mon people...let's help the guy out a little.

Seriously - you probably just hit the exhaust pipes. How fast were you going? If it was normal 5-10 you probably didnt do anything. The exhaust pipes are pretty tough, pretty thick steel. I know, I bang 'em on my driveway practically every day.

 

I was going real slow - 5mph tops.

 

Well, if you damaged your muffler bearings you can go HERE

Sorry--couldn't resist.


Now that is some funny stuff. The o-pipe exhaust is hilarious.

 

I'm thinking about getting one of their Butt-Dyno's!

 

If you were going 5mph at most, you will be fine.

 

I just saw the butt dyno and o-pipe ahaha
