i have a medium sized dent in my exhaust that i just got in the mail, it's used so the exhaust is used.... It's on the bent of the muffler, like right where the exhaust circles around, is there anyway to pop it out, if not will this effect performance?

Well it comes down to the size of the dent when concerned about an effect on exhaust flow. A good welder can remove the dent if it's bad.

it's not big enough to effect exhaust flow, just cosmetic though, how much would they charge to take the dent out i wonder?

I think the best & easiest way to fix it is to have a shop drill a hole in the dent and pull it. Then a little spot weld will seal the hole. Shouldn't cost more then $20.

the smallest restriction in an exhaust system is how the entire exhaust system flows. for example, if u have 2 inch exhaust, and theres just one dent that makes it go to 1.5inch, then you get the performance of a 1.5 inch exhaust.
