Heres the pics of the dent... Would you be worried about it?

 

install it and fuggedaboudit.

It's a MUFFLER!
I know they're all pretty and stuff, but it won't make any difference in the performance or durability.

It might be a good idea to call corsa, and tell them about it. they may send you a new one.
but for long term warranty insurance, ask them if it will matter if you need it warrantied in the future.

 

Yea, im just worried about it causing problems later if i need to have it replaced and they blame it on cosmetic damage that was actually there when i got it new. Id just feel better if i didnt have any problems to worry about from the get go.

 

Nahh, that dent shouldn't hurt anything. If you don't want to see it, just install the muffler with that side facing up.

 

Good call, Zick. Heck if anything, install it and tell Corsa about it. Maybe they can send another while you enjoy the sound.

 

actually there is a weep hole on the muffler that must point down... there is no choice, otherwise moisture will get trapped and corrode the muffler

 

Nah i wouldnt worry, i actually have simular dent in mine. Although its a big smaller than yours, it never effected anything.

Oh and make sure that weep hole is facing down as Nickvrebel said. Otherwise you'll endup with a muffler full of water.

 

Good call, I forgot about that. I'll have to remember that when I'm installing mine tonight.

Btw, I don't have the instuctions yet but does it matter which end you put to the front or back? I noticed one end has perforations and the other doesn't?

 

Thanks for the info guys. I think im just gonna see what Corsa says and go from there. If they wanna replace it... fine. If they say i can install it and they will still warranty it if anything should go wrong, ill do that.

 

I was surprised that they don't tell you which way to install it too.

This is how I decided --->pic
