My car was in the shop for 2 months after getting rear-ended. They put in many new OEM parts, but they did not put a new shiny thick wrap around the muffler. Is it necessary?
If it is the shipping loop (only on a Japanese made car) there should be TWO of them. One on each side of the car. The passenger side one is right next to the muffler. The drivers side one protrudes from a slot in the rear air dam.
