Hi, Any tips for straightening out part of a Exhaust? Can it be heated and moved with a steel pole inside? Or will it be easier to cut off and add straight pipe section?
Thanks everyone,
Dave. |

Thin wall pipe is difficult to form without proper tooling, I've never tried to straighten as the wall would crush. I would cut out and weld in a new section. |

I echo the previous statement, you will never successfully straighten out exhaust pipe. _________________ KA
