There was a ford taurus wagon flipped over pretty much on my drive way last night. Idiots in the rain. Meanwhile I was out last night with the traction control off and in sport mode in the wife's forester trying to figure out WTF traction control on an AWD subaru does. LOL!

It's faster with it off.

Should I try driving it to a shop like this? Palo alto is about 10 miles on the freeway.

Not sure why it is upside, but just turn your head. Exhaust is fubar'd

Id see if there is any damage further up on the exhaust - stress on turbo or on dp/trans bolts

I'd say it has gone from full 3" to 3"x1/2" I guess I could loosen the bolts at the flange to avoid excess pressure, which is what I'm worried about.

I'll probably run open DP, as the muffler section is pushing up on the RSB. I don't want to run open axle back because then it'd let out right below the gas tank, and that just makes me feel uneasy

All damage looks to be just the axle-back, not even the midpipe.
