Default my trd sports exhaust

Recently I was in an accident and noticed that when I got my car back from the shop my exhaust looked like it was pushed back (i was rear ended). I did not notice this for a while until I came back on scionlife to look at other owner's xBs and their exhausts.

Should I...??

1) Remove the exhaust, and hammer the hangars so to that it'll flush my exhaust out?

or

2) Leave it alone

or

3) Get a Greddy or Strup exhaust... ditch that TRD!!! hehehe

I can vouch for this. I've had mine on now for a little over a week and I'm very impressed with quality of the exhaust and the sound of it. I can definitely notice the power gains too, they are small but have increased mileage which is always good. Good product, you can't go wrong. Nice guys too over there at precisionmuffler.com

With the exhaust on, I went an extra day or 2 before filling up. I'll have more accurate results in a few weeks. Normally I fill up once a week (every tuesday), but since I put the exhaust on I filled up 2 days later than I normally do (I filled up on a thursday this week). Hope this helps. - Eric

Hmmm.... That precision muffler looks good....

But I still might aim towards a Greddy... not sure about a Strup Evo2.

I got 3 more mpg out of one tank, and 4 out of another tank when I put on my Strup. You could expect to see around 2-4 mpg more DEPENDING mostly on how you drive.

Hey... aside from just getting a new catback exhaust.. any tips on fixing my current one? I might take it out and hammer the hangars so it can at least be what it was when I bought the thing...

If I did hammer the hangars, you think it would damage the exhaust? I have a feeling the hangars are gonna come off like a toothpick.. hmm..
