To make a long story short one of my exhaust hangers is bent and it makes my exhaust ****-eyed. I have tried beating it straight with a hammer, and other various techniques that didn't do anything. What will be the best way to have it straightened out?


Thanks

Put it in a big heavy vise, should do the trick.

I had someone hold the muffler and pipe while i used the circle end of awrench to pry it in the correct direction.

Appreciate it, the other option I've heard was getting an exhaust shop or so heat it up and bend it back?

take a mallet to it, the bigger the better.

Don't forget heat!

my brother-in-law's dad used a breaker bar type tool on my mufflers to straighten them out

I tried a decent size rubber one and nothing, I think I'm going to have to resort to heating it up...

Yeah the heat would for sure help. I have a pretty big metal one that i've bent hangers with before.

I made this adjustment to mine, before I did the final install. Set them on the floor on a piece of cardboard, and the used a large pipe wrench. It seemed to bend pretty easy. I think it would be really hard, if it's still on the car. Good luck.....
