Question Exhaust help

I just bought a 2006 Rx330 and noticed that the rear muffler pipe, which is about two feet long, has a major crimp in it so that it is slightly touching the frame. Any suggestions? A new piece is $1400. Thanks:

if you take it to your mechanic they will be able to repair the problem.

all they have to do is put the torch to the pipe, heating it up till it turns red then bend as required. probably cost you less than an hours labour. i have done this many times, it wont hurt the metal or shorten the life or anything else.
