Default New Hooker Y is dented right out of box?

My y-pipe has two good sized dents in it. I just want to make sure this isn't some kind of clearance crap they've done before I send it back. They don't all look dented do they?
Thanks
Jeffrey

some parts of it are dented for fitment/space on the floorpan. did you get the coated version? take some pics and i'll help you out. otherwise i can't fully understand where they are.

Apparently the y-pipe comes with "clearance dents" for the floorpan. They look pretty crude to be done by Hooker but I think that's what they are. I don't have any way to post pics up but the dents are on the side without the welded on bracket about half way down. And the small connection pipe has two dents in it also.
Thanks guys,
Jeffrey
