Bent arm pipe.

Kris2fer · 01-25-2017, 08:56 AM

My exhaust was bent and crushed a little in an accident. I'm looking for your advice on the best solution. I've contacted GTHaus but they haven't replied yet. Could I take this to a muffler shop and have them get it back to the original size? Or is it trashed and better to buy the whole pipe from the manufacturer?

I would take it to a muffler shop and ask if they could duplicate the part bent.

Though it maybe cheaper than replacing, The downside is that it's going to hurt the resale.

That's what I figured. I don't plan on reselling the exhaust, so that doesn't really bother me. I just want it to be functional. Thanks Trips.
