Tailpipe melted mudflap 2010

I guess the tailpipe bent. Should I just bend it back myself or is it more complicated than it looks? Or is it indeed bent? Here's a link with pics: http://goo.gl/photos/yKBcReRx4umbWqej9

 

You'll need to heat the area up you want to bend, and use a pipe or some other strong and long object (lever), inserted into the tailpipe to bend it.

 

DCSBFTMFW Thank you! Wouldn't have thunk to heat it.

 

Looks like the tube is pinched/twisted here.. maybe you backed into something and contacted the tailpipe?

 

Only way to bend it back.

If you don't have a good hot torch (oxy/acetylene or MAPP gas), you can buy a MAPP setup at Home Depot for $40-50 or so. But, it might be easier and cheaper to just swing by an exhaust shop in your area and have them do it. I'd be surprised if they charge you more than $20-30.

 

Yup must have been snowbank. I didn't notice the crimping. Thanks for pointing that out!

 

I cut my tailpipe back to where the bend is coming down.
Stays out of the way.
