My daytona exhaust arrived today. The right side pipe is dented. They're not inexpensive. Should it be this way?

I had it booked in for fitting tomorrow, I can't see that happening now as the right side quad pipe won't fit. :dry:

It shouldn't be like that but it will only take 5 mins to get it the right shape again.

It's clearly broken and no use to anyone.
You may as well chuck it.

Agree with David. Once fitted the end of the pipe will be covered by the finisher pipe.

Only other thing is that to dent it that much, has the actual outlet pipe been knocked out of alignment or has it caused damage to any of the welds?

What did you have in mind. Get the fitters to 'knock the dent out?' Time and work is money David. Their time and my money. :lol:

It seems like a sturdy item. So, I can only assume that it's had one hell of a knock or drop somehow.
