New owner here... Was just under the TH for the first time, preparing for an oil change and noticed the exhaust is crimped or pinched. This might be a stupid question, but is this damage or by design? There are no marks on the opposite side and no other damage or deformations. Looks like it was put there almost too perfect to be damage. Can anyone help? Thanks. Will try to post picture. Still need to figure that out.

its by design to access the bolt/nut above, (I forget which).

Auto companies are always doing that stupid stuff. Ive seen it too many times. you'd think they would know better in this application.

Pretty sure there’s a bolt right there and it’s crimped in order to access it.
