Anyone know how to fix a dented tail pipe? (Pics)
I was thinking of putting another pipe in the inside diameter of the exhaust tail pipe and then use a hammer to smooth out the dents. Good idea?

yes, your idea should work, its a techinque used by autobody repair men when straigtening out metal

What I would do also is place the tailpipe on sandbag to back it up while you are re contouring your tailpipe. By doing this you should have a smoother finish

Thanks Mike |
just do it, and use a lighter hammer and a bodywork hammer

A small metal hammer, preferably a ball peen with a rounded tip, will do the job VERY quickly and easily.
Of course, you'll still have an N1 Dual, and that's a bigger problem :). Dale |
