- Some of the tubes on my headers are dented.. Looks like the previous
- owner overestimated the car's ground clearance at one time. All
- 4 of the lower pipes are dented in varying amounts. My first
- question is whether or not this can be repaired. I can't be the
- first person to have this problem, and it seems like a waste to
- get a whole new set of headers. My second question is how much of
- an effect the dents have anyway. One of the tubes looks about %50
- closed. New headers for the car run about $200 so I'd rather not
- replace them unless I have to.
-
- Thanks for the advice.
