OMG look at my header
I need your help guys, how do i fix this.
Would the exhaust shop guy would be able to heat it up and straighten it up or something, or should i just put it on my car the way it is. My cousin says to put it on the way it is, it won't make much of a difference.
What do you guys say:
and how do i fix this.

Looks like the car bottomed out on the header! You could probably use them, but it will impeed performance and overall drivability. I know somebody that could probably fix it, but it wouldn't be worth the shipping, and i'm sure that there is someone local. Look at it this way, give it a shot at fixing it, you can't mess it up any more than it is!

Re: OMG look at my header (ciRcuitSi y0!)
you'd need to cut out the parts where it's dented in.. then weld up some metal pieces shaped to fit the header.
I would just get a new one.

Yeah seriously, that header is beat to ****. I doubt if you can even fix it for what a used one will cost off of this board.
