This is essentially what I was going to do, but I was going to weld some steel rods to the dent and use a slide hammer to pull it out. Then I was going to get a piece of 14-18 ga steel and weld it over the dent area to reinforce it as "skid plate" of sorts.
The gutting project I was imagining was to cut the exterior can from a Magnaflow and shove it into the stock can. Before you flame me on this idea, it was just a theory in my head and I didnt get around to really putting pen to paper.
This seemed like a good idea too...

I dont think it would have made any more power than stock, but would have sounded a hella lotta betta!
Think you should go with the second one .Lol!! Bike will go much faster.
So I was able to pickup that nice looking pipe. It hasn't showed up yet. Paid a little more than I wanted but I doubt there's many that hit eBay that are in such nice condition
