Default Amuse R1 Dual dent

Went for a drive up the mountains during the weekend and this happened

Wondering how much it will affect performance of the exhaust? its just before the dual splits. Titanium

Great gooka-mooka that's one heck of a ding. Did you go rock crawling while you were up there or something?!? Lol. Joking aside, that really sucks especially because its Ti and super expensive I'm sure. I'd wager its affecting the flow and performance some... I mean that's taken it down to like half the original diameter there.

Agree with cool guy flow looks restricted at that point some. Enough to notice or measure on a dyno? Maybe not.

I'd be really careful and maybe not have your car so low ....oem ride is because oem knows best ...that exhaust needs to be repaired or replaced ...no question IMO.

I wouldnt say half the original diameter if you look from the other side. Though I'd probably say its about 20-25% of original diameter. I am running a testpipe so I think flow would still be better than oem exhaust.

Would still be safe to drive around right?
