SLP DualDual ... is that a Dent in the Over the Axle Pipe? 
I'm lookin at the over the axle pipe, and it looks like there is a HUGE dent in the over the axle pipe. Can anyone w/ Dual Dual verify whether or not that dent is actually there?

It's there, but it won't really hurt your power. The D/D is one of the best flowing catbacks out there. It's what I run.

I know SLP Dual/Dual is one of the best flowing, thats why it struck me as odd, that it had a dent, and some of the "not as good flowing" catbacks cleared the axle w/o th dent.

It's there on my CME too.
If you get it as a kit you have the opportunity to
"fix" it some. Like get a good hard drift punch with
4" of shank, drill one hole in the top side, find an
anvil of some sort and punch it until it's flat, at
least better than an "innie" then get the work hole
patched / welded shut.
The stainless will be pretty hard but it can be done
(judging by the hammer work I had to do on my
SLP Y-pipe).
Then again it's at a point where hard flowing gas
will bias to the outside anyway, centrifugally, and
probably not worth the effort.
