Default Something just banged up the exhaust


Heard a bang and when I pulled over I saw this dent looks to be about 8" long and about 3/4" deep at Mac depth. Will this impact the performance any?

I could be wrong but, I doubt performance gains are had when just adding an axleback. Any performance would be mainly from the tune. Does the car sound different?

Is that one of your resonators? If so, not a single f should be given. Lol

stock resonators, one of them at least, has a crease in it from the factory if I'm not mistaken.

I did the same thing after lowering my car and putting it back on a lift. Haha

Yeah that's how they come from the factory... Thanks for that one Ford! Mine are both removed and I'm not looking back.

There is a slight increase in WOT, but not as much as ditching the cats.

You will need a tune, but probably a good 10rwhp, maybe.

Most of these cars with an off-road midpipe (cat deletes) CAI, axle backs, and tune make a little over 400rwhp which is about 30-35 over stock average.
