How do you take dents out of a 2stroke pipe?

[Suzukimx]

I have a fmf gold series pipe that has a pretty nice dent in how do I get it out

Do you have a big freezer? If so you can put some water in the pipe and stick it in the freezer. When the water freezes in the dented area it forces the dent out. Or you can plug one end and take a heat torch to the dented area while you fill the pipe with air compressor from the other end.

I just don't want to split the seam and have to buy a new pipe

If that pipe is on a 125 or less, you're robbing it's power. You're buying a new pipe regardless. Might as well throw it in the freezer.

Good point but at least it not robbing everything

plug the ends and heat it with air pressure inside

Freezer method is probably the safest.

I recommend if you are going to torch it and pressurize it, fill the pipe with water 95%, then apply compressed air. The less compressed gasses in the pipe, the safer it will be.
Water does not compress, so it has no energy if the pipe were to burst.
Filled only with gas, the release of pressure would be violent. -BIG DAN

Post some pics of the entire process. Taking it off the bike, showing the dents and every other step to putting it back on and firing the bike up!

 

[Suzukimx]

I blocked off the ends and put air into it and heated it up with a torch

That's way to fancy of a setup. I cut up an inner tube and used hose clamps, it only tried to kill me once
