i kinda scraped my stock downpipe on uneven road and now there is a slight ticking sound when i step on the gas.... my question is should i just take it to a muffler shop and have them weld/remold it?

thanks

No, I would wait for all the members of this forum to post their opinion on this problem before you get your car fixed.

I'm sure a few will say, "That's too bad, Dude!", while others will want pictures of the damage.

Sooner or later, you will have to make a decision to do nothing, and leave it alone, or 'kinda' get it fixed.

Why isn't there a report user/post button for idiots like this D-bag?

Sounds like you knocked something loose and cracked it, or its hitting something else due to the exhaust vibration during acceleration. Don't wait too long to take it in, but try to identify where its coming from first. Otherwise they may tell you all kinds of BS.

You probably scraped something else, its pretty damn near impossible to scrape your Y-pipe unless you were turning over on a tree trunk or something. Check your rear sub-frame I scraped mine all the time.

I also noticed you said downpipe and that IS impossible on a 3.5
