Stainless steel pipe issues

#1 Post by über pikey » Sat Feb 16, 2013 5:52 pm

I have bought an Akrapovic exhaust for a bike and the link pipe has an acute angle, who knows the best way to straighten this out slightly or would it be best to get a new one fab'd?
I saw it so I took it - Sir Edmond Hillary.
