Mhardee:
Got a rock ding in upper part of 2003 KX500 pipe and a log ding on the very bottom. Anybody had good results in pipe repair? A shop near Memphis?

I have read a lot of good reviews for these guys.  I have not personally used them.

I have a premo stock pipe and a FMF Gnarly pipe for sale!

I have heard of various ways to straighten out dents in pipes. The first way involves heating the area with a torch and pressuring up the pipe and popping out the dented area.  :? :? I'm not sure how you would seal up both ends to apply the pressure. The second way would be like popping out a dent in a car, by drilling a small hole in the area and using a slide hammer to pop out the dent and then welding up the hole.

Anyone else have any other ideas?

Alan :-D

Arigato:
You can use freeze plugs to plug each end.  I have a friend to has a schraeder valve in the middle of one so he can use heat and compressed air to get the dents out.
