Default Y pipe question

Well my pacesetters go to an ORY... but does the dent/crease in my driver side of the Y, would it decrease flow therefore decrease horsepower?



and again



Sorry for shitty pix, took it with my razer camera phone!!


What you guys think?

Highly doubt it. I didn't lose barely any power on my cammed car going through the catback as opposed to my two cutouts right after the headers. Pacesetter Y pipe into a Magnaflow....lost like 5 rwhp peak.

+1, I doubt it is, especially since you dont have a high hp app. The dents are also keeping the ORY from hitting the floorboard making a really annoying noise so it is benificial.
