[V8] A8 Accident

[Ingo Rautenberg]

Roland,

Not sure.  Some removal of the exhaust would definitely be necessary.  I'd
check with a reputable exhaust shop in your area.  I take it the only other
damage was front and rear bumper stuff?  If you have it fully insured, I'd
definitely report it.  Can be a very expensive fix.  Good luck.

Ingo
