Bent tailpipe and maybe exhaust
I backed my tailpipe into some rocks recently out in the woods at around ~10-15mph in reverse and they were nice enough to bend the rear tip so that 3/4th of the diameter was closed.

Plus it no longer sits in the original noose in the back and kind of wiggles around a bit, and a part of the inner pipe bent about 1" away from the stock rubber noose that holds it in.

Took the car to a muffler shop to get the tip cut and replaced for $90 bucks.. goddam labor costs are expensive.

Anyway the gripe I have is that it doesn't sit in the original noose still, just a custom wire to hold it there. Any tips on what I should do or should I just leave it alone?

Inspect carefully in front of the axle for cracks/cat damage and then spend the $90 getting a tailpipe like mine Follow the link in my sig, I think you'll like

The rear piece of the exhaust can be replaced if you just bent it at the upper part before it turns to go back into the muffler ... Ask me how I know!

You can order the factory part (+ 1 gasket - non reusable part) and then bolt it back up. I did this but at the same time had a muffler shop cut and throw on the 90 deg elbow so it exited the side. Toyota factory parts + 40 bucks for the muffler shop and done!
