Default Damaged exhaust tip.. What to do?
Hey guys today i was on a trail and i was flexing pretty hard and decided to take some pictures, then when i got back in i sorta forgot to come off the dirt mound slowly and i smashed my flowmaster exhuast tip very badly. Just need some input on what i should do, have a muffler shop heat and bend it back or something like that, or just cut the tip off not ever worry about it getting harmed again. I honestly dont even know how it lasted so long. Thanks

Common problem just get a pair of pliers or channel wrench and bend it back to shape.

Bend it back or just cut it off. I wouldn't pay a muffler shop to do it though.

Buy a muffler. Put it before the axle. Cut it right after the axle.
