Kinks in exhaust

[prelure]

hey guys

lately noticed my exhaust system has alot of dents and kinks underneath it.
Does it affect the flow and also anyone know places where i can take it to get them fixed?

cheers

The dents would have to be fairly deep to restrict flow, you'll find dints and scrapes are quite common along most cars. If you're not sure, take it to an exhaust place, but one you trust, this could be the thing they'll charge you for even though your exhaust might be perfectly fine.

stock car? not much, unless its very large. The closer to the headers the more it will effect also.

To get it fixed you'll have to replace that part of the pipe. can be hard depending on where it is

its on my rsr gt2 exhaust
theres a big dent on the middle of the actual exhaust tip
and few scrapes + dents in the middle of the piping

anyone kno any good places i can take it to get fixed at a good price ?

dints wont do much unless its fully bent half way through the pipe but by then it would most likely have a split in it

limbo, is it possible to re-mandrel bend the pipes if they have been scrapped and flattend?

^^ I wondered that myself bout couldn't imagine how they would do it.

It would be easier to cut the section out and replace it with new pipe

Cheers Zeforce,I was thinking this morning,heating it up,sucking it out and re-shaping it :rolleyes:
