Default Dent in pipe?

So I was changing my spark plugs yesterday and I noticed a dent on the under side of my intercooler to turbo pipe ( i think thats what its called?) right below where the "do not touch sign" is. I didnt think this was normal. You think that dent is stealing power from me? I guess everyone would want pics right? LEt me know if its normal or not and I'll get pics at lunch. Thanks

Just remember that the 180's have a "pancake" pipe. It is just like its sounds, a flattened pipe in the path to fit in the fender. SO it could be a factory "dent" or something hit it.

Yeah I have the 225. I'm gonna take a pic when this girl comes back with a camera. It looks like the engine jumped up. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement possibly an upgrade?

That looks more like a clearence than a dent. Looks like that is how they got the pipe low enough to not hit the engine but clear the hood. Some other 225 person would have to confirm this though.

Hey there's a betterthought. At least if makes me feel better that I dont have to buy a new one! Any 225er's out there have this same dent? I can't even find one to buy anywhere. Thanks Cincy
