Does this look like a manufacture defect?

Thanks for all the info.

I wish it was that easy; just going back to the store and asking for an exchange.

Brought this at a small retailer. Both manufacture and retailer are denying it's their fault, but indeed I notice the dent upon receiving (when I got home).

The brand is Victoria and Albert, and cost me the HKS exhaust!

Should of gone with Moen instead.
