Is it possible to pull or "pop" the dent out of a aluminum pipe?
The pipe is a RB Concepts Efra-9886. The first picture is the entire pipe. The second is a closer look at the dent.

Got an air compressor????

tha would do it ....plug the holes and have one relief.....I have poped many pipes and other light metal vessels this way.

I wish I had an air compressor, but sadly I don't. So are there any other options as far as getting the dent out with out replacing the pipe?

Cool thanks I'm going to try that tonight. Thank you for all the help.:dancin:

Also would any of you know what kind of pipe it is as far as low-end or top-end?

Just don't overdo it or you'll split the pipe.

The 9886 pipes are designed for all around performance. You can choose either the long or short manifold, depending on whether you want better top or bottom end performance.

How can one tell what kind of pipe it is just by looking at it? I want to know because if I did, I might be able to improve the performance on mine. It's a plastic pipe about 4 inches long, pretty generic, I can't tell if it's a high or low end pipe.

If I'm right its all in the stinger(where the exhaust comes out). The smaller the tip the better bottom end the bigger the better top end, but I could have that backwards, so yeah.:whack:
I'm pretty sure I'm right but I'm not sure so wait until one of the pros can answer your question.

Ouch.

:bowned:

the stinger size has to do with a small block or big block pipe, the smaller hole gives the smaller block engine enough backpressure to run. the difference in a top or bottom pipe is the length of the pipe, this changes the timeing of the echo inside the pipe and changes the power band.
