So on my way to work today someone rear ended me. Only damage to my Ram is a bent rear bumper, bent hitch and looks like exhaust is bent.
So is now a good time for new aftermarket bumper and exhaust?
Thinking about going Cat Back system.

Solo Exhaust Delete is the only way to go. Hardly any drone. Simple bolt on no welding! Freest flowing exhaust you will ever find. And super loud either. It’ll damn sure wake that Hemi up.
Nick@gotexhaust can hook you up with it today.

Most times the insurance company will pay for the cost to replace OEM parts. In other words, you can't get a betterment upgrade and have it paid for by the insurance company.

But, you can work with the body shop to get the parts you want installed and pay them the difference in the cost of the parts and any difference in installation fees.

I did that with my 2007 MegaCan after an accident:

In my case, it was an upgrade to the SRT hood. :)

Once they pull the bumper they can see the extent of the damage

We're sorry to hear about your truck, Cub. Hopefully the damage isn't too serious underneath. If you do decide to upgrade the exhaust, we'd be happy to make a recommendation and answer any questions you may have. We currently offer 6 different bolt-on catbacks for the crew cab 5.7s. What type of exit style do you prefer?

Are you wanting a loud or quieter exhaust system? There are so many different kits to choose from depending on what you are after. The bolt on muffler replacements are nice, but they will not work for you since you are needing to replace the tailpipes now as well.

I like the sound of the Flowmaster Outlaw system from what I have seen on youtube. But I do want to go to 5 inch tips.

Didn't "bent frame" = "totaled" when we were growing up? They (insurance companies) fix (pay for) those now?
