hooker catback problem

I just got my hooker cat-back today, and guess what. I got a dent in the head pipe( the one that connects to the muffler and then connects to the long pipe).
I was wondering if that will cause me problems and will i have to go through the hassle of sending it back and getting a new one, or is it not that big a deal and just connect it as is?

I believe someone else had a similar problem. I'd send it back, cause that dent might hurt flow, but I'm not positive.

I'd keep it, me and someone else have it, I believe it's made that way. I'll try and get a picture for you guys later, it really isn't that big at all....

if your talking about the dent on the over axle pipe its supposed to be there so you can get more clearance. mine had it too.
