I have a backup set of /6 headers that have some dents. The dents are on the curved areas. I am sure that air flow would be reduced with these dents. On one of the dents, I drillled a small hole on the opposite side, heated the pipes, stuck a small solid metal rod through the hole and tried to pound out the dent. I was able to remove the debt however the area is now fairly rippled. I don't think I can flatten it would more without making a bigger hole which would be much more difficult to weld shut.
The ripples are not horrible however you can definitely see them. Should I just leave the ripples or is there some other way to fix the issues? If it were on a straight pipe, it would be easy to weld a new pipe in its place however not easy on the curves. |
