    my brother wanted a new pipe for his scoot, I told him to buy this one;
    http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Leo-Vinc ... dZViewItem

    Seller says "SOLD AS IS NO RETURNS" No longer going to buy or sell on fleabay.

    Doesn't mention the dents. How bad with this mess with the flow? It's installed, just waiting for tropical storm Hanna to blow away and run it.

    what possesed you to buy a secondhand TT ? They're cheap as fuck to buy and it's alright saying that but it looks totally fucked up, get a refund and buy a new one. It's his responsibility to ensure it's sold to an accurate description.

    take the end can off and half fill the exhaust with water and stick it in the freezer, the dents will come out, ive used this way loads on my mx bikes and its always worked ;)

    I think (going back to some science lessons) that the particles will contract, causing the metal to want to turn to its original shape, the water will freeze later as it's specific heat capacity is greater causing it to shape to the exhaust, helping it to keep it's shape.

    I think anyway :p
