If there's a dent in a exhaust system just say on the B Pipe would this change the Air Flow and prenatal loose power

If it's a small dent then probably a negligible amount id guess if at all, might not be enough to show on a dyno. Especially if it's near the end of the system

also wouldn't sound right? as the air is flowing through the exhaust wall and right at the end of the wall is oval bent and air passing through that would change sound?

Put a pic up. I'm no expert anyway, are you saying the dent has made a leak in the pipe? If that's the case then I would guess it's more severe and back pressure may be created. I noticed that when my cat back was repaired/welded after it had cracked it seemed to gain a bit more power and throttle response. Possibly because the leak was creating back pressure and disturbing the gas flow

Someone else asked me about this with those exact same pictures.

I hope you've gone back to where you bought it from (I know where BTW) and asked them to claim in the courier insurance...

That small dent will have little to no effect on performance. But I'm guessing that's a new exhaust system that you've bought? I'd be sending that back as damaged goods.
