Re: Bent runners

It will effect airflow, not sure of how much. They make "*****" that you run through them to pop those dents out. Try Fleabay under "Runner dent removal"

Re: Bent runners

Okay thanks. Its not bent to much just reminds me of a banged up header so I don't think it will affect it to much

Re: Bent runners

They appear to be so thin that even if someone drops their 3/4 ratchet on them from 1 foot high itll dent. They could have gotten damaged in shipping. Or someone, while installing/removing the tubes, moving back and forth from the engine bay and in a hurry, turned around and smacked a tube.
