having a dent on headers size of quarter kill performance? and also i was wondering if there is anyway of heating a ceramic dc sport header up until its red and fixing the dent?

 

Not a noticable loss but yes, Technically ur minimizing air flow but I mean im sure its nothing, have any pics??

 

If the dent isn't deep then you're not going to feel a difference.

 

 

is there anyway of heating it up and pushing the dent out?

 

How the hell did that happen? But to answer your question that dent should be pretty easy to take out as its accessible from the top...you'd need to heat the pipe till its near red hot and soften out the dent with a metal rod with a soft rounded end on it.

Motorcycle shops can usually pull these dents.

 

anybody ever tried getting a header dent pulled at a body shop? You know, with one of those slide hammers that doesn't require drilling a hole

thats true...but usually the pipes aren't that thin...i remember my dad had our fmf fatboy pipe on our dirtbike heated up and the dents pulled out. It wasn't 100% perfect, but it was definately an improvement compared to when it was dented.

 

thats not my headers yet im planning on buying it. but yeah im going to try to heat it up and take it out.

 

Make sure you milk it from the guy you buy it from... Be like "Ahhh, brah, that sucks, huge dent, thats like 50% off."

lol im wondering how that happened too.

 

seriously, how the hell do dents appear on that location of the header?!...i would understand from the bottom. I'm, thinking they were probably installing it by coming from the bottom and it hit something on the way up?

Possibly, its easy as hell to install from the top though.

 

i already went for the headers. TRASH! such a waste of driving 40 miles. He said $50.00 i got it down to $40.00. Then i saw that its been welded before so i said forget it and walked to my car. Then he came to my car window and lowballed his own headers and said he will do it for $35.00. But i still think its not worth it i rather just wait and buy brand new headers later on.

 

haha lowballed his own headers, thats great!

If you're interested i have a 4-2-1 RS*R Header for a B18C
