Question New Exhaust Question

Recently ordered a V3 Extreme Exhaust from ETS. Package came in somewhat damaged and this is how one of the ends look like. Would this be an issue for installation or the vehicle itself?

Unless that flange got really bent, it'll be absolutely fine.

Yep. It's my first time buying an exhaust so I want to make sure everything is good before attempting an installation, didn't know if the small dent would be an issue or not.

As noted, looks ok to install. Looks like minor handling damage like someone dinged the flange on the floor at some point before wrapping. Just make sure there are no raised edges & if there are knock them down w/a fine file. A good gasket & proper bolt torque is all that is needed for a tight, no leak fit

Cheers, Joe
