huh :confused: how do you do that cause I have a lot of dents in my pipe header.

I read that you seal up the stinger(take an exhaust deflector and bend it back next to itself and zip tie it) and seal the pressure nipple (same as stinger but with fuel line) and fill it up with water. Stand it upright in the freezer and check every 10 minutes for dent removalness...

that dont sound like it would work...cold makes metal shrink...that dont sound right

Water expands when it freezes though, making the dent pop out.

yeah, ive gotten dents out of manifold like that before.
Pipe Dent Removal??? - kevinF - 02-19-2006
traxxas junkee how did you do the manifold?
Pipe Dent Removal??? - Traxxas_Junkee - 02-19-2006
i just put like this play dough stuff in one end and then dunked it in water, put play dough in the other end and then put it in a bowl and freeze it over night. It worked pretty good, there were a few big dents and alot of little ones and got just about all of them out.

hmm that sounds wierd but if it works i guess it works
Pipe Dent Removal??? - bigjs - 02-19-2006
dent tek works better, then freezer method. freezer method can stretch the pipe, just ask rocco.
Pipe Dent Removal??? - kevinF - 02-19-2006
it can also crack the pipe.
Pipe Dent Removal??? - Traxxas_Junkee - 02-19-2006
yeah, i dont think i would try it with and expensive pipe, i would do it with a manifold though.

I did it with my savage tuned pipe and it worked well. I had to do the process 3 or 4 times... I had a huge friggen dent in the side of it. Now you can barely tell where it is.
Pipe Dent Removal??? - Ponch - 02-20-2006
old, did you plug all the holes, or just 2/3? I tried both ways with minimal results...
Pipe Dent Removal??? - north_shore_racer - 02-20-2006
heh...Traxxas_Junkee said crack and pipe in the same sentence...jk yea the water freezing method seems like it would work. ima stoar that one in the back of my head for future refrence.
