Yeah, sure, you just happened to hit something and dent your I-pipe so you could remove it to make the car louder!
I'll never forget when I hit a big chunk of snow/ice with my 93 Indy 500 Pace Car. I had a larger trans pan and whack! Luckily it was a thick, cast aluminum pan and shattered that ice block with no damage. I used to get those parking lot counters stuck under that trans pan when I went to Flyers games too.
