Default Damaged FI Exhaust

I bottomed out and scratched up my CF muffler a bit and I was wondering how to repair it. Does anyone know if Tony can just send new sheets to switch out cuz they look like they are held in by allen screw. Some have said the whole muffler has to be replaced. If anyone has any experience I would appreciate it.

The best way to find out would be to just call Tony himself

Also some pics should help.

Could this happen to any of the aftermarket exhausts, or does FI sit lower then most?

The initial design of the F.I. exhaust use to sit a bit lower than stock & some people who were lowered had scraping issues, but now they sit about a 1/4" higher than the stock exhaust. The scraping issues have seemed to die down with the new design.
