Flat Spot on Exhaust Pipe

[Denali n DOO]

New to Trailvoy...Great Site...Just got an 06 Denali, very clean body with the exception of the rear bumper cover, it has a small crack in it. Visually I can see that some repair was made due to a quick job. Tape was left inside wheel well part of bumper cover and bad tape lines where the black starts on the bottom, couple pieces of dust under the paint and such. No big deal as the dealer is going to fix it correctly. They already took out two door dents without having to paint, pretty amazing. My question is with regards to the exhaust pipe in front of the muffler where it goes up over rear axle towards front of Envoy. There is a flat spot in the pipe as it starts to go up past the square bar of suspension(not sure what thats called). Is that flat spot suppose to be there or is it likely the result of a collision? I would post pictures bit don't have that option yet. Any idea?

The flat spot comes from the factory that way. It really doesn't restrict the exhaust that much.

I noticed that too when I blacked out my Resonator yesterday:confused:

Thanks for comfirming that bend in the pipe. Now I no its not the result of a collision. I think I'll cut off the tip and put something different on there pointing straight back. I don't care for the stock tip.

the flat spot is incase you bottom out it doesn't puncture or bend the pipe on the exhaust!

Please check the dates on threads you resurrect to answer. It's pretty much not worth it for over a year old issue, and not part of the trailvoy tradition. Thx.
