cap off all ends hook up air to a fitting in one of the caps and slowly heat it up with a torch and let the air pressure push the dent out.... learned that from another thread on here

Drop by your local body shop and see if they will use there stinger and put some rods on it , and then you can attach a slid hammer to them , and once your done cut them off and sand them down

idk man....I prefer to put mine on roof
it looked like an s2k muffler and i thought they were kinda at an upward angle and not near as low as some other cars. either way it doesn't look like the average dent or scratch you get on a muffler

it's actually from a 350z. the guy slid his car over the curb and into a dirt mount. Now i know that it can be easily fixed, I'll be picking it up from him for cheap

thanks again!

You can try a window suction cup, they sell them at hardware stores for like 5 bucks. It works to pull out dents on cars. Give it a try maybe
