it can be welded up using a mig and stainless wire. (assuming its a stainless pipe)

That dosent look bad at all. I would consider that a ding. Some guys have had luck with spot welding a rod on there, and using a slide hammer to remove the dent.

I think I will take it off and put the other one on. I have a friend at a body shop I will see if he can do anything with it. still works great.

There is another method that involves plugging one end of the pipe and attaching an air hose to the other. Then you set it to a high enough psi to get some pressure built up and use a torch of some kind to heat the spot where the dent is. With any luck it should pop out, for more detailed info I'm sure you could find a video on youtube.
