Default This is what happens when...
You muffler mount breaks at 140+ at Road Atlanta. When looking at the bumper, It seemed like I had been hit. However, we seen discovered that my muffler mount broke which, in turn, separated cat bypass/muffler joint and melted the bumper.

Thanks to my trusty mechanic, I was back on the track next session with a missing muffler and a bypass pointed to the ground.


Anyone out there have a guards red bumper laying around??

I agree Craig. If this is the worst that ever happens to me on the track, then I will be blessed
