Dented exhaust headers from speed bumps and other road obstruction how to fix?
Have dented exhaust header pipes from speed bumps and other road hazards how do these things get repaired? The header of the 997.2 is connected to the cats and it would seem too tedious to remove for repair. Is there a way to repair without dismantling?

You sure...I thought mine were dented also.
Turns out they come that way from the factory, kinda flattened like I bottomed out on them.

how big of a dent? if youre talking minimal/no flow restriction then i'd just leave it. otherwise, i'd say replace.
