Default Small dent on Nismo exhaust

I was checking out the underside of my car today (lord knows why), but there is a smallish dent my stainless steel Nismo exhaust. Probably caused from a stone. It's on the top, upper, right hand side of the muffler. It's not visible, unless you're crawling around under the car and rubbing your hand over the top of the exhaust. Is this something I need to keep an eye on, or is it relatively harmless? I guess I'm paranoid that it could lead to a crack, or flaking, etc... I was wondering if I should maybe apply a bit of JB Weld just to be on the safe side.

If you look at the muffler on the passenger side, you can see small dent in the side. I hit a truck tire tread about a week after the install. If the 350Z is locked in the garage, it may look close to perfect. But if you put “happy miles” on the car, it will always have minor flaws.

Thanks. That's about the same size as my dent. I was worried about mine because it felt like it had a sharp edge to it. Crawled under the car with a flashlight, and the it's just a dent with a small scratch. I guess I won't worry about it.

Yea I definately wouldn't worry about it. It's not gonna effect performance, looks-wise you can barely see it. Don't fret! ;-)
