exhaust damage: too much? 81 cb750

[canyoncarver]

Picked up this exhaust setup very cheap but need to be sure if its worth using at all. Should this work well enough and I could just wrap it ?

it's hard to tell, are there any cracks or holes? as far appearance goes you won't be able to see the damage once it's mounted.

Any effect that dent might have on performance would be less than trivial.

No holes, just the dent. I wasn't sure if it would end up restricting #2 exhaust or not. Sounds like I'll just go ahead and clean them up, wrap 'em and bolt them on. Thanks !

cut out the damaged part with a dremel or cut off wheel, then beat the part straight, you may need to heat it a bit to get the shape to come back, and then weld it back in. Grind the welds clean and it will look like it was never damaged.
