can they do that????

will it flow as well? how do they smoothen out the inside?

it wont look so new and shiney, may not hold up as well . . .

i'd go towards the replacement side

No offence bud, but did you do a 6000rpm launch out of your car space?

How on earth do you drive over a bollard far enough to dent your front pipe? I would have thought the sound of you front lip/bar scrapping or the feel of the wheel(s) going over the bollard would have indicated to stop, well before your exhaust.

well dude.......how do u think exhaust shops operate?!

of course they can do that......

they make custom exhausts................bending pipes and welding it.

any exhaust shop can do it.........

go get 2 quotes...

or they may just quote you on replacing to the nearest flange.....

the inside is never "smoothen" cause the pipe is butt jointed and tacked with the MIG welder..

usually its wise to get it "Mandrel Bent"......
