    Get it sorted and send the bill to the council. I hit a pot hole in my old audi and it damaged the suspension, on a complaint to the council and a mega winge about poor road conditions they payed out

    It has probably just pushed the exhaust out of alighnment. Try slacken it all off and reposition it. If your struggling check that the downpipe support bracket isn't bent where it fastens to the block.
