Looking at 2018 Denali. What’s up with this CAT?

I’m looking at getting a 2018 Denali xl. Dealer took pics from me since it is a good ways off and the Cat looks weird. Anyone have any idea what is going on with this thing?

There is moisture that seeps out by the ball clamp. I've pulled mine apart. Cleaned it up and coated it with anti-sieze. The clamp seemed to seat better in that scenario. The dry fit doesn't seem to go well on these sometimes.

Doesn’t it look like it was cut or burnt through?
