Exhaust pipe dent
The engine is a 2.8 with 2.25" exhaust from the cat back.
There is a flat dent about a half inch deep where the pipe goes over the rear axle and suspension. The pipe was poorly supported and must have fallen loose and smacked a good dent in it. Is this anything to worry about?
Edit**
Actually, I found a search on the 2.5" Dynomax I-pipe having a dent for clearance issues? Even though I don't have a dynomax pipe would this also apply?

Re: Exhaust pipe dent
I wouldnt worry about it too much either way. Your exhaust is plenty enough for the 2.8 motor.
