Dent in X-pipe hurt performance? *pics*

I recently got in a wreck and my BBK catted X-pipe on the passenger got dented..

I can't get it out of my mind.. but does it hurt the performance at all? the dent is on the X-pipe between the cats and the LT header collector. I would say that the dent is around half inches..

Maybe I have to go dyno my car again and see..

Got some pics also.. I will post them later.

Nah man, not with that small of a dent. If was kinked or even had a sharp angle to it it might hurt a little bit but nuthin that you could ever notice. You should have seen my stocker H pipe.....it was almost dented closed...lol

It will definitely hurt performance...you should send it my way so I can "dispose" of it properly...lol. It won't hurt a bit. I had a bigger dent in my X-pipe and still managed my 13.9 run.
