k guys, I got rear ended tonight and my bumper is done for. Also, more importantly, my exaust is all pushed up and bent, so i think im gettin a new exaust. I cant seem to locate the price of the stock exaust online, do any of you know off hand? Its a 2003 1.8 T quattro. Im thinkin i can upgrade and pay the difference, and get that exaust i always wanted. Also, i smelled some burning oil after the collision.....wonder what that could be. My turbo wasnt affected by the bent exaust....although the deformation almost made it there.

 

i would get the oil smell checked out. i got rear ended in my first B5 and the milltek exhaust had been pushed forward and bent down. the car ended up being deemed totalled. but later on, i started it one last time before the insurance company took it, and i noticed a strong scent of oil burning. the shop said that the exhaust being pushed in actually cracked the heads and caused some other serious engine damage, i didnt really care to listen since the car wasn't mine anymore. but anyway imho before you settle with insurance , make sure to get EVERYTHING checked out.

 

[:@][:@][:@][:@][:@]??? Thanks for that info man. Im gonna get that checked ASAP off the record by my own mechanic.

 

Ok got the quote. 1033.00 with the markup for stock exaust repair. Thats about what an APR exaust costs if i get it myself....SWEET! I may make out ok on this
