Bent Exhaust

[PopATop512]

My back left bumper recently got hit while it was parked and bent the exhaust towards the middle of the truck. I was able to return it to place and adjust the exhaust tip but the pipe looks a little kinked right behind the resonator. Does this look normal? If not, is this bent enough that it will cause issues down the road?

Not normal, but nothing i would worry about

I would expect it to rust through in 5 years of so

Great, thank you!

Inspect the connection between the y-pipe and exhaust manifolds. If there was enough impact energy to bend the pipe, it could have damaged the interface or broken a bolt.

If you have an exhaust leak there, it would probably set codes.
