Is this fixable? DHL shipping bites. I'm not sure where to start...who could conceivably fix this type of damage?

If it were a cheap exhaust... some padded vice grips and a firm tug? :devillook Doesn't look THAT bad. If you can get something true and round to test your repair with you should be able to do it yourself, unless you can't maintain the finish.

I don't see what other technique a repair shop is going to use unless you get the tips replaced. Honestly, I would say you probably need to temporarily pull your head out of your mod list's ass and fix the tips yourself in about 3 seconds. Oops, did I say that? :D

muffler shops have a thing they use to flare out pipes so they can weld, they should work to bang it out

It doesnt look that bad! Itl suck when you back up into something and you bend them again. I would of just got something rubber and see what you can fix.

Local shop (Metropolitan Collison for those in Htown) fixed it well enough. I was having a rocker panel scratch fixed and they fixed the exhaust for free. Thanks for all the help.
