Hey guys, just wondering. If I change my muffler/exhaust to one that is louder, will it decrease or increase engine performance because of different pressure levels coming from it? Thanks.

Different backpressure will alter performance for sure. It's best to research what pipes are best for the engine that you're using.

If i dent my exhaust, will it also change performance?
Big dent, yes, bunch of little dents, yes, a small dent, probably not.
You can remove most of a big dent by sealing the pipe, fill it with water and freeze it. I usually wash it with soap/hot water first, then plug the stinger, fill it, then stand it on it's end in the freezer. If you have a cork to plug the end, it will help too. If it doesn't get the dent all they way out the first time, thaw and refreeze.
