I was going over a speed bump yesterday and dented my pipes. Because of that I have two questions and I hope some of you guys can help:

1. Does anyone know of a good place that can straighten them out in the LA area?

or

2. Is there a good aftermarket setup? I've heard the OEM header is about as good as it gets for Daytonas...

Can pipes even be straigtened after you ding them? Should I just say "To hell with it" and buy the Jardine? Wolf was saying that the OEM pipes are about as good as they come. I'm not sure if it wouldn't hurt my performance to put the Jardine on there...

Just got off the phone with Jardine; they don't have an application for Daytona Headers. Anybody have any other ideas?

replace it with another stock header. I bet it isn't cheap though

I would check ebay.

You may be able to take it to an exhaust specialist(even a car. it is just a pipe so they should be able to do it as well if they are a good shop) and depending on the dent, they can "pop" it out. On the 2 stroke dirtbikes(my friend had this done, this is how I know on this application), They would block one opening, then put air from the other end, sealed of course, and it would pop the dent out.

fivehundo, Find a race shop that builds headers for race cars. They'll cut out the dented area and weld in new pipe, mandrel bent if required.

Good idea, brad, I'm gonna give that a whirl....

Either very soft springs or very fast tracks!!!!

I just high-centered it right on top of a speed bump. I didn't think a the bump was that tall...
