The shop had to do this to make the exhaust not tap on my new torque arm.
Look close at where the torque arm comes close to the ORY.

I through in some extra pics of rear for the hell of it .

Thats a pretty big shrink in the pipe. I couldn't say for sure it's costing you a lot, but it damn sure isn't helping you any. I would get something done about that.

I plan on having something custom welded. Maybe over the winter. I had my car off the road most of the summer and want to enjoy it for a while.
Winter=Mod time .

I have no idea. The rear started to whine a little so when they were installing my H/C package they checked the lash pattern. I was pretty shocked by the over usage as well.
