Default Scratched the y pipe!

I have an f-sport exhaust and recently I drove over a dip on the highway that I always cleared when my car isnt full of passengers. That day I had 4 people in my car, and i heard a loud SCRATCH! I put my car on ramps and found deep scratches, would this affect anything? performance? or its common and im just being paranoid. What can i do about it? it feels dented though

Anyone have a similar experience with any other exhaust!?

You'll not experience any difference in performance.

On my lowered boosted Civic you would have been hard-pressed to find a length of pipe (3" ID BTW) that didn't have the typical speed bump scratches on it. LOL!
