Default Anyone Notice The Stock Ti Exhaust, Drivers Side,Has A little Dent/Crease

I swapped my exhaust for a Bassani catback over the weekend, and noticed on the drivers side near where it flips over the axle it has a little divot/crease.

Is this normal for the factory Ti system? The passenger side was smooth and crease free.

Any experience with this???

Here's one. About 6-8 inches from the flange.

Neither does mine, that dent doesn't look ''factory" to me.

Well i'm guessing the prior owner backed into something? No damage on the pipes anywhere else though? Not a scratch on the tips or under the muffler.

Maybe i did it jacking up the transmission to install the Hinson mounts?

Oh well, thanks for the replies, i guess i can keep and repair or sell 1 perfect passenger side one dinged driver side set.
