Default Normal or Not ?

Hi guys, while under my 96xj today, chasing oil leaks I noticed a dint I think a dint in the exhaust just below where it bolts onto the header, looking at its location I can not see how anything other than the diff could hit it and it would have to come up a long way to reach it.

Just wondering is this a "factory dint" to allow clearance for something, or have I somehow managed to get my front diff to hit my exhaust - I have had it hit the stops on the front a couple of time when off road?

Its supposed to be there. Meant to stop the uni hitting the exhaust. I heated my dent up with the oxy and pushed it mostly out.... My idea was to open up my exhaust a bit. Made no difference to the power though so bit of a waste.

Stop calling your car a "she". It's a car.
