Default Fixing dented header

Hey,

I have a legit spoon header with a few minor dents. I want to get it repaired...but im scared to give it to anyone locally and have them f it up.

Anyone know anyone legit anywhere that i can send it to get it fixed?

Thanks

Ryan

you could try a uni spotter but it has to be welded to the pipe before its pulled out.

Theres no such thing as "paintless dent removal" there will always be some sort of imperfection

You could try the "fill it water and freeze it" method. It works for the dirt bike guys...i have no idea what will happen on mandrel bent tubing though.

repairing exhaust tube dents with h20

another example
