125-200cc Scalvini Pipe - And we got a big dent...ugh

After spending a zillion dollars on this awesome pipe (btw, John - the US rep is awesome to work with as he really went out of his way to help me) my kid managed to find something to stick a big dent in it.

Thoughts on if it will impact the performance and how one might remove the dent?

That doesn't look that bad,send it here and you'll be good as new.

That's a bummer 'man. After you fix it can you put a guard on it, maybe modify a P3 carbon fiber guard? Bound to happen again though.

Thats a little baby one, you should see mine.

Wonder what would happen if you put a chunk of dry ice on it?

None...

There have been dyno tests done that showed dents in the expansion chamber have almost no impact on power unless is is smashed flat by the cylinder or the silencer.

This is a new one I had not seen...

Later,

If it makes you feel better I bumped into a tree today at 5kph. Cracked my rad shroud in 3 spots. Plus I mangled my fmf fatty. Its folded back, creased, dented, and the mounts are tweaked big time.

What you have there can easily be fixed and is purely cosmetic.

Luckily I've learned to keep a back up pipe. This one will have to go to pacific crest.

Not sure where you're located, but that Pacific Crest pipe repair is damn expensive to ship a pipe to for a fix. Find a local off road racer and see who fixes their pipes. I've got a local guy I use, many dad's of the fast guys blow out their own pipes as well. I'd fix my own using the above, but it's cheap and quick with my local guy, and he's only a few blocks away. I usually take them over 2 or 3 at a time (usually about once a year).
