Default Tilt exhaust

My GF was trying to close the garage door at her parent house, they have a manual sliding door, no remote closing I park in her parent's garage(they love me ) while I was taking the groceries inside, I return back to see her standing on my exhaust tip(stock exhaust), trying to reach the garage handle. I screamed at her to get off the car!, but the damage was done. My stock exhaust isn't even anymore, the right one is tilted down more(almost two inchs).

I thought the stock exhaust being 65lbs -/+ can take some beating? My GF is short(4'9) and like 100lbs. She claimes she only stood on it for like 5secs

Anyone have any experiance with the stock Ap1 exhaust as far as reliability goes, I just surprise my exhaust was bent to hell, I've seen rear end collision and their stock exhaust stood up to the 20-35MPH hit. Its dark right now, so I won't be able to get pics till morning, but my GF has offer to buy me a new exhaust after forcing me to get rid of my individa a few years back, so its all good at the moment, till I have to drive home tomorrow with a bent exhaust. I'm gonna look like a drunk ricer

go check under the car first, who knows?

you will not see a straight exhaust in a 20-25 mph crash if the bumper or any part of the car meets the exhaust itself, it's not built for that.

Turn out to be exhaust hangers, it was dark out at the time. It also turns out that my GF was on it for more than 5sec, more like 5mins of jumping while using the exhaust tips as leverage. She told me she's gonna get me something nice to replace it, so I'm just gonna leave it tilted for a bit.

My GF is a short asian girl(asian genetics), but shes 24 years old. I get all sort of weird looks when we go out, ppl think were're father and daughter, till we start touching each other, then ppl start going crazy. I'm only 29 years old, I still look young!!!!!!!
