Due to being forced off the road by a propane truck my rear tail pipe struck the pavement,This forced the metal and rubber support block for the muffler to lock in a higher position than normal.

This caused one big hole to be burned in the plastic bumper cover.

The muffler popped back down easily,guess this is just an FYI if the rear of your xB contacts the ground to check the tail pipe for correct height.

 

pics or it didn't happen

 

OK Here is the picture.

 

insurance

 

$500 deductible on a $247 part, Think I'll fix this one myself.

 

omg thats nasty never seen one that bad geeezus

 

oh nice. time for a new exhaust system :-)

 

Aaaargh -- pretty awful !

 

Oh yeah it's probably time to get a dual exhaust setup. Now you have an excuse for sure. Sorry to hear about your xB. I get mad when I find scratches on it, I couldn't imagine what it'd be like seeing this on my box. Good luck to you.

 

Search ebay I've seen a few used xb2 bumpers for sale for much less.
