Nismo mid-pipe got owned by something on the road.
should I replace it? and if so with what?

as long as it's not cracked and leaking or anything you should be fine. if it starts to leak or cause any issues take it to an exhaust shop and they should be able to weld it up for you.

kind of depends on whether or not you care that it wont be flowing as well as before. if you just have it for sound and its not leaking then no need to replace

would you replace it if it were yours?
will it effect performance?

JSDZ33

if it were mine it would be an excuse to get rid of the Nismo exhaust go with something that flows better, doesn't weigh as much, and doesn't sound almost exactly like stock but it's your car, do what YOU want.

i would certainly replace it, but im kind of a "squeeze every little bit out of it" kind of person so...

yeah, it will hurt performance, but its not really something you will notice, maybe a 5hp difference at the most

5hp? i doubt it. you get 5 hp maybe.. with the whole catback.. i doubt that will do anything.

in case you hadnt seen, he looks to have some mods. you might get 5 with it on a stock motor sure, but more with more mods. a turbo car would probly lose 15+ with that big dent. it depends on the car sir. i said 5 tops anyway, and that dent will certainly make a difference, just not much. you cant even feel 5hp

Would it have just gotten clogged?

It's fine - no worries. As long as you don't hear a leak, forget about it. It's mostly glass-pack material that's been compressed. I doubt there'll be any change to airflow, at all.

is that a converter or a resonator? if its a converter you should definately change it because the catalyst inside would be screwed up.

resonator
