a dent on my''srs exhaust ''

[GST_RIC_99]

i just brought my srs catback on the 19th and got it today on the 24th so i was very excited to go home to my package came pretty fast ! i open it up look pretty good but for one piece the muffler pipe had a dent on it ! what i wanted to know will this effect anything by having this dent on the pipe ? you won't be able to see it once it's on the car. will this be fine to still keep it and install it or should i send it back ?

here is pictures

will this effect anything ?

 

[apckofllamas]

i would send that back right away.

 

[BoostKrazy]

Yes it will effect exhaust flow.. thats why you upgrade your exhaust, less bends and more open space for exhaust to flow. Send it back

ok thanks for the feedback sucks i just got it and now i have to return it didn't think it would effect it that much

It doesn't bother me. But that's just me. I'm sure you're not gonna lose 1whp over that!

so you think it wouldn't be that bad ? i ask one of my friends and he said he would just keep it if it was him after i showed him the pictures it's just the top part of the pipe it doesn't go all the way through the rest looks fine

I'd keep it but get them to refund it partially. It won't affect much, but that's not what you bought (in terms of condition). Chances are they'll go with the insurance as that looks like forklift damage from dock workers mishandling it (either from their warehouse or the shipping company).

ok so ask for a partially refund ill contract them asap

Could be made like that to avoid hitting the body in a certain area. That dent looks to "perfect" to have been accidental.

I agree with Jus, because mine has the exact same thing. And if I remember right, it's right where it needs to be to clear part of the frame.

my friend ask me was that a post to be their too he said something about some exhaust come like that for reasons to void certain spots when installing

you have a srs too ?

 

[Joethefallen23]

A dent like that isn't going to cause any problems. I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it. Dyno and undented vs a dented. I highly doubt there's going to be any significant difference outside of the acceptable error zone.

EDIT* Then again I'm AWD. Perhaps the SRS is dented on purpose for the FWD models. Mine wasn't. Looking at it again, I see what jus is saying. It looks too "intentional."

 

[Paintballaa5]

you have a srs too ?

Yes, has the EXACT same "dent."

 

[GST_RIC_99]

Yes, has the EXACT same "dent."

OK guys thanks for your help ill keep it makes a lot of sense now and I'm glad i got more feedback before i sent it back i think you guys are right

Good to know, I don't have a SRS so I have no dent there. Looks like you got yourself a perfect set up.

thanks ! yeah I'm glad i brought it & it's a good thing i ask before i made my final decision this is going to go perfect with my new Punishment Racing front mount intercooler too

 

[MJBean420]

Its because you ordered a FWD exhaust for your GST. Its supposed to be there to avoid hitting body parts. You still might have to make another dent if your car is lowered. The FWD exhausts typically run through the rear sub frame area. The AWD exhausts run underneath the sub frame.

 

[GST_RIC_99]

it fit perfect and sounds amazing deep tone

 

[99ECLIPSEGSXDSM]

Looks good! Sound clip?

 

[clipto]

Lol dent adds 5 hp and more aggressive sound.

hahaha yeah sounds pretty aggressive i can't hear my fuel pump anymore like i use to my walbro 190lph was super loud but now the exhaust drowns it out rather hear that then the fuel pump
