Could somebody wreck my engine?

Hypothetically of course...

On a 182...if somebody gave even a small rear end shunt to the centre of the rear of the car, coming into contact with the exhausts...

could this shunt the manifold, jiggering the engine..?

I had a wee look under the car and the exhaust looks pretty sturdy, but would it buckle in the middle and separate saving the manifold and dirty bits...?

I don't really see any difference between a rear end shunt in a 182 or 172 or any other car for that matter . All thats protecting the exhaust on a 172 is a couple of millimetres of plastic so if you've got a ton of metal up your arse its gonna do the same amount of damaged as it would on the exposed exhaust tips of the 182 imo .

It could but to move thee engine seriously it would have to realy have some force.
