Thats not really a big deal actually. Easy fix with some small taps from a hammer.

if your talking about that little crease dent on the end edge, id say compain to fedex. but you could easly tap that out.. or put a cresent wrench on there as tight as possible then just bend it back up a little.

I would just install them and be done with it. Spend the time you could have used bitching, on the install. It's not like its a big dent?

The pair I ordered last fall came the exact same way. The damage was in the same exact spot. Just install and enjoy them.

Mine came with a bigger flat spot than that. I just fixed it with channel locks and a rubber mallot. TSP told me that a muffler shop can put it in there expander and fix it.
