Default What to do with this?

This is my $500 Greddy Cat-Back Exhaust. I mushed it in the car-wash. I have a few ideas, but not sure. I'm not too keen on speding $$$ on the exhaust, when I'm building a turbo setup. What do you all think? I was thinking about using a brake-drum remover, hook it on the edge, and pull the crease out. Then re-welding everything to flip it upside down.

Edit>>>I'm thinking of cutting off the exhaust, cutting off the tip, cutting off the hooks, and welding it back together upside down. So that the scar will be up, not down. therefore it will look good.

What exactly are you trying to do?

Do you want a muffler to be funtional for now or just cosmetically sound til you boost your ride?

I'd say JB weld it until you have money to buy another. Just my thoughts.....

I'd go new too. Since it seems your going turbo.....custom 3" to a universal muffler sounds appropriate.

http://www.accordinglydone.com has mandrel bent s.s piping for $215 + shipping. Once I drop a H23 in, I plan on buying my b pipe from them, plus a Remus Sport axle-back.

don't bother with what the people who are saying buy a new one. Just fix that thing the best way possible and if you want looks flip it over.

I picked up a used Apexi World Sport muffler locally for $30. It fits a prelude, but I'll have a local welder cut and fit the mounts and exhaust tip from the Greddy.
