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...

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

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.

dent tek works better, then freezer method. freezer method can stretch the pipe, just ask rocco.

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.
No more rhymes... I MEAN IT!
