My nice magnaflow tip is dented in three spots.....I think I will cut it off just after the muffler, or else relocate it....

Well, the speed bumps at the mall aren't that risky...

I've scraped mine, but haven't actually dented it yet. I have plugged the tailpipe with mud, the engine don't run well like that.

I keep putting dents in the muffler waiting for a rip or hole and usually every time I go out I have to open the exhaust tip.

X2. Funny how the stock tip protrudes just past the rear crossmember. Damn nearclosed, no power. Replaced with cool tech Magneflow next to frame. Great sound as well.

Mine looks like the above pic. It was smashed flat. I pryed it open on the trail, then sawzalled it at an angle. Have not had an issue since.
