Exhaust dent on forward side.

[manny3]

This dent is on the forward pipes coming from the front 3 cylinders, is it hit by a debris on the road or something deliberately placed on the exhaust to help on the merging of the exhaust or mine is defective?. Can anyone tell me if they have the same dent on the exhaust. I will be posting pictures later. Thanks

Are you looking at it from under the hood or under the car?

Yes from under the car, when I was on a lift changing the oil.

Here’s mine...can’t see any further forward due to the aero panel.

Fixed my line of thought a little bit better, I know what I think but seems to translate differently on paper (post)sometime lol. God forbid I take a second and read what I just wrote, lol.

Is the forward one without the panel when I did my oil change I saw it.

It’s hard to see but that is the pipe coming from the front cylinder bank. There’s like a chip in it but I think it’s from manufacturing and not damage because it’s a perfect half circle.

Yeah it looks like is press in there to avoid either turbulence on the flow or to slow the front flow one to allow the back to merge easier to avoid reflux, lol
Thanks for letting me know and hopefully it would be good for someone else who spots it
