Ouch, better there than mid pipe tbh though. Midpipe would of covered your right leg in oil probably. Glad your safe.

Why does that pipe look like it came out of a scrapyard ?

Looks like the pipe might have been in a bind from the position it is in now that is if it is still bolted to the motor in that picture.
