Dented Catalytic Converter cross pipe

[siooss]

I was climbing over some rocky terrain and managed to dent the catalytic converter cross pipe right on the end of the 90 degree (give or take) bend. And, added a few dents along the horizontal exhaust pipe that connects the cats together.

Will these dents reduce the overall exhaust system efficiency and performance?

This is one vulnerable area under the Raptor I wish Ford had installed a skid plate. Guess I will find a fabricator and see about getting a custom skid plate to protect this area.

Time for an aftermarket skid plate that covers that area. I did the same thing in baja. Was an easy fix at a muffler shop though. Way cheaper than long tubes.
