Really? Its one thing if its a cheap header, but if its a $400 header would you be so quick to throw it away? Would you toss it if it was your header before soliciting advice other than "Throw it away, buy a new one"?

No.

The question is is it worth it to repair the header. I know of a shop that will cut out the damaged section, and weld in new tubes. Some one did it with a Hytech header, which isnt cheap itself, but the work probably cost about $75-100. MUCH less than buying a new header int hat case.

The other thing a shop could do is weld a pipe or piece of rebar onto the dented portion, and heat up the pipe until they can pull the dent out. You would need to look for a local shop to do this and ask them for a quote. I will look for the shop online that cut out the guys runners and welded in new ones.

Are you running open header? Or did you put the stock header back on?

I'd keep it, Megan or not it's a one piece header. you're not going to get any gains over it by using the Greddy 2 piece header, I love Greddy and more than Stand By their products, but that 2 piece design is crap compared to the ITR style of the Megan. It barley flows better than stock like the DC 2 piece header. my 2 cents. but if you're just looking to drive around and have reliable transportation, then what you got will work.
