Default Spitting and Sputtering

I have an indention (looks egg shaped) on my exhaust manifold in the collector area (where all the pipes come together). Could this be a source/ reason that I get a sputtering when the XJ is running (excessive back pressure)? When it sputters, the exhaust sounds like it chokes or sucks back in. Any help would be appreciated.

Could be that (how big is the dent?) or maybe the Cat is clogged...Tj

the size of the indention is about egg sized. Probably 1.5"-2" in diameter at its longest point and .5''-1" in diameter at the shortest point.
