Default dent

i have a dent in my Exhaust i just noticed it yesterday and im kinda concerned itsdent where the muffler is could this be a proplem? i would get a picture but it would take about 3 or 4 days to get it to show how big and deep it is in. its a fair mount deep in to cut half of the flow

If you're saying that the muffler is dented, it's hard to make a judgement without being able to see exactly where the dent is and how large it is. I suggest letting a local exhaust shop see it to determine if the exhaust system had been compromised.

If you have a large dent in the exhaust pipe it cuts down on the flow. This will also decrease your power because if you can't get the exhaust out, you won't get the maximum air and fuel mixture in.
