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.

 

did you buy it like that? i dont think they can heaten it up and straighten it... its like woah.. i wonder what happened to the car before.. must of gotten banged up pretty good..

 

how in the world did that happen???

 

is that cause from the rad support?

 

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!

no the car didn't bottom out, its the top part of the header which is damaged form the wreck

 

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.

can just use this the way it is

 

throw it away. That will LOSE power, guaranteed. DC headers dont make much more than stock to begin with.

 

that header is def. no good anymore. replace it.

Just because you bent a stock rim means "it's time to get 4 new rims!!" or I dented my fender..."time to get a new CAR!!". Some people don't have the cash to sell out $1,500+ for a turbo system. A true one. Don't give that kind of advice man, it's not right. </TD></TR></TABLE>

Lighten up dude damn.

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.

 

Just rock it till find another one to replace it with or find something you like. i dont see the big problem. your car wont be to the full pottential but it will still be driveable.

 

Should be cheaper to buy a new one, OBX headers are cheap and they work ok, ya i know most people think obx =

better then a stock header and that one tho

 

that header is ruined, you'd be better off with a stock unit.

 

use a stocker or get a new one
