Header pipe

[celentanogj]

Last weekend I had the cobra out having a great day when I was about to pass a landscaper truck a pice of wood fell out of the truck and even though I try to avoid the debris it ended up hitting the side pipe. In the pictur is the damage to the pipe, can this bre fixed? If so anyone know of a company that may be able to repair the damage? Am I going to have to buy new sidepipes? the damage is 2 of the pipes on the collector are dented, not to the point that they are not functional but bad enough that it looks bad. I'm unable to download any pictures but I can send it individually if someone can help

Can it be fixed? Sure. Find a good metal worker and it can be done. BUT.... it's cheaper, easier, and less down time to just replace it. It should be covered under your insurance.

Your photo didn't come through but you might try the paintless dent repairs or other body shop The weld a pin then use a plunger to pull the dent back. On exhaust it's probably even easier since you can run the car which heats the metal and probably makes it easier to work it.
