Dent on Active Autowerke connecting pipe?

gnhm3 · 08-06-2012, 11:36 PM

Hey everyone, I bought a AA signature exhaust system off a local member today. Upon inspection I found a dent in one of the connecting pipes. The owner at Autotalent in Los Angeles said this was the way it came from the factory so it clears the subframe. Anyone ever hear about this or have a system and can confirm this. Here is a pic of it:

He's correct. The driver's side comes with that dent for clearance issues.

Yeah, looks just like the one on mine. There's an old thread on the forum where an AA employee comments on this dent and confirms. You should be able to dig it up if you search. Totally normal.
