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.

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.
