2 1/2" H exhaust - with the "normal" damage that comes with driving. At what stage of crunchedness?!!?!? should I consider replacing the tubes? And is it feasible to only replace a section or do I have to replace the entire length?
Thanks.

let me start off by saying....HUH???? Crunchedness?

I am assuming that you mean: at what point should exhaust be replaced? How much can a pipe be crushed before it begins to effect performance?

Exhaust can, indeed, be replaced by sections or by pipes. If a pipe is dinged or dented, I wouldnt worry about it. If its 'crushed' - it should be replaced

Do you notice any changes in performance? If you swap out a section, get it mounted higher than the old piece.
