Default Side Pipe Question
Just ordered a new set of pipes from Corvette America and one of the one pipes arrived with a minor dent in the bend just below where it bolts to the manifold. Is this going to impact anything? Trying to decide whether it is worth filing a claim to get a replacement.

I personally do not see any value in the claim/return process for something so minor. Bolt them up and enjoy the music. Dennis

you would think that restricting the exhaust flow would cut down on horse power but I guess not.
