Dent in my pipe...

[YZ250]

The one problem with 2 strokes is that they have such a big exhaust pipe. now i know it looks really cool but they can get dented really easy. especially if you fall. like I did... anyway, now i have a big dent in my pipe and even though it doesn't affect power or torque (from what i can notice) it really affects the look. it looks terrible! any suggestions on how to get that dent out?

You can seal both ends and heat the dent and apply a couple psi of air or a dent puller works as well but you'll have to weld the hole over.

Four-stroke headers are also prone to damage, and they are far more expensive to replace.

It says $60 plus s+h so how much do you think the total cost would be?

The easy way to find out is to call or send an e-mail... that's what I would do.

  :PIt would'nt hurt to install a nice pipe guard on your YZ.I put an E-Line carbon fiber pipe guard on my 300xc.

Be very careful when you use heat to blow that dent out of your pipe - heat + hydrocarbons + pressure = diesel engine.
