<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by tomek5x &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">i got some headers that are dented on the bottom from the car being too low, and hit a lot of bumps. i was wondering if i could take it to a shop and get the bottom piece rewelded? thaanks </TD></TR></TABLE>

get it rewelded?

uhhhh do it yourself!

but out the parts that you want out then bevel all 4 edges of each pipe you want in (old pipes and new pipes)

that gives a place for the weld to fall in...................................... now DO IT!

PS: go buy a cheap GMAW @ home depot for about $500 and teach yourself a valuble skill that will cheapen everything you do to your car...............
