The flex joint is just that: a flexible coupling. Generally, minor abrasion on the exterior does not effect the joint.

If it's not leaking...you're good...it may over time though. The flex joints expand and contract as they heat and cool.

Just keep and ear on it.

it should be ok for now, but over time it might slowly start leaking like someone else said.

If it leaks just put exhaust wrap on it. It's a flex pipe so it will eventually leak if it has any damage to it.
