looks like you got a used one and the seller shipped it with the tips installed, i don't think it would look good if u took a hammer to it, maybe try a body shop or dent remover to see if they can smooth it out

ori, (seki nom!?)

Hey man, any old school metal worker will be able to reshape it for you. I would call around to local shops and ask.
Or
Try and shape out a solid piece of wood, and use a rubber hammer to pound it back into shape.

A friend had this happen to his blitz and he is sourcing out a shop to fix his as well.

Good luck man,
R

Take it to a shop, ive seen something similar like this happen and the mechanic actually welded the tip back to normal. And did you buy it with the tip like that? or was it shipping damage?

HKS doesn't sell just the tips??! That's absolutely ridiculous especially since the tips are a separate part of the exhaust. They come in their own little box for goodness sakes!

A shop that fixes wheels should be able to fix that!
