Rafael; As for the dent I would send it back. The hole is for the oxygen sensor. You must have a 1.9L which hash the sensor in the upstream pipe. If you use the hole for a working O2 sensor it MUST be upstream. I could not tell any difference in power between the empty Cat and working model.

AS for no replies I must have missed it the first time. Drive Safely & Good Luck Ken Lewis<Kernersville,NC>86 VW crewcab;60 T-5 Coupe
