[Mk2] [Turbo] Gutted can this exhaust be fixed?

[Greddy-Matt]

Hi Guys
Got my new exhaust yesterday, and both tail pipes are damaged, one just dinked the other mangled, does anyone know if it's possible to repair this so that it looks good?

Rh tip

Lh tip



Any advice appreciated

[GhostWKD]

could be wrong but i *think* exhaust makers (not powerflow but proper machine shop types) would be able to sort that... other than that wouldnt imagain would cost too much to get new tips welded on?

[Greddy-Matt]

the left tip isnt creased so i was thinking it might be possible to heat it gently and press it out, the supplyer is out of stock so it looks like sort it or get a refund

[Morth666]

Id personally get a refund but thats just me

[Greddy-Matt]

Yeah I hate letting people down tho, going to try H&Scott and see what they think...

Was hoping it might be a case of heating it gently and pushing it out

[Greddy-Matt]

Have decided to send it back, cant take the risk of not getting it 100%

[GhostWKD]

ah didnt realise it was a new new exhaust, yeah i'd send it back tbh

[tonigmr2]

It's the right decision - if it arrived dented then you should not be having to pay to get it fixed. It was either the packing or the couriers at fault after all...

Yep a spanking shiney new one , its a real shame as the workmanship was superb on it, very neat welds and so light!!

It was seriously well packaged so they must have sat an elephant on it or something!

^^^^^^ Thats what mine looked like after a shunt in the backside by a very nice girl in a Fiesta....

Its fine now though. Took it to a bodyshop and they sorted it for me...dont have any pics of the fixed one though.

As you're sending it back though I suppose you don't really need to know that....

mine had a similar dent, i just took a bit of time and hit it out with a rubber hammer...could never tell now

it's an easy fix and if you don't want to do it yourself then an exhaust fabricator like powerflow will fix it in 5 mins...cost a tenner but you would be saving on postage...

[Driftlimits Performance]

yeah we can do that kinda stuff

[Greddy-Matt]

They are out of stock at the moment mate, Its an XS power/Motoria one Theres a ton of Dep 2 style zorsts on ebay at the mo tho

I've sent the exhaust back for a refund this morning, I'm a fussy git

[jimGTS]

not the first ive heard of in this condition....
didnt crooky have about 3 sent to him!

[Tubby Tommy]

bake bean can and a rubber hammer might have helped!



Could be a god send! why not go Berk?! rather that than motoria stamped on cans!

Sorry, Im a name design freak!

[Greddy-Matt]

Did he? I cant keep up with 2crooky and his exhaust fetish, think he's tried most of them now, tho my fave was his Buddy Club

I'm not worried about the name name on the tips, as long as it does the job well I'm giving Spittinflames exhaust a new home, praying it arrives intact!

[Tubby Tommy]

Yeah, I supose! I cant help it, would like to change mine for a quieter one, but want a super dragger type too!

Berks looks good and is also quite cheap, but its got Berk on either can too!! check my 'BERK' exhaust out lol

[Greddy-Matt]

I was going for a Berk but they were out of stock everywhere.....

[2Crooky]

Here's XS Power for you!!

Looks exactly like my old exhaust lol!! Maybe they sent you my old one!





I was told by JAson of XS Power that its not worth sending back, just get a hammer and hit the dent out!!! A brand new exhaust shouldn't need that done to it FFS!!
