I bet the oe exhaust is cheap to manufacture, thats what the engineers get paid for anyway, that wasnt my point. AFAIK kinking in pressure bending occurs on inner side of the bend, like the very little kinks you see in 2nd pic of OP. I had a chance to get a pretty close look at it in real life and I think the kink on the top of the pipe is intentional and not due to cheap manufacturing. There is not a bend in that region that would cause a kink in that direction.

And yet, there's almost no power to be gained in a catback system.

Mostly seems to be by sales numbers which is a poor measurement tool when looking at the big picture. I heard #2 for a long time as well but I am not sure if they include some of the owned by companies in that number. There is at least one sizable company that our employer owns but may be listed separately from the parent. It isn't big enough to make the top 100 but could very well be enough to bump us up a spot or two if it's sales dollars were factored in to the rest. (Especially at the rate the BRZ PPs seem to be selling)

Yep. Every single part of a car is designed to move away from the passenger compartment as much as possible in the event of a crash. The odds of the exhaust getting pushed through your seat are remote but still exist and that would really ruin your day!

A tailpipe up your tailpipe sounds like fun, actually.

"Dent" or "Kink" whatever is there on every stock exhaust and no it does not impose any restriction to power that you would ever notice.
