Default RE: Tail pipe help


ORIGINAL: molo_30

Hi guys, heres the tail pipe out of my Adjets Scorpion. It has a few kink type marks inside as you can see. The largest is about 20mm long.

It has no discolouration. The seam is still welded tight.

Do you think it is safe and if not, best place to get one?
Well the answer will probably depend on the following informations: how did these kinks appear ? Were they here originally ?

If the seam is welded tight and there is no decoloration from the inside then two of the most important factors for the pipe strength are retained:
.The structural integrity
.The material stiffness
