Bent header.

I finally got my headers from UPS, but it looks like the collector was bent during shipping. Should I just try to bend it back, or get it replaced?

Even if you decide to fix it yourself, you should still contact who you purchased it through. Let them know what happened, they may take some off the cost or at least give you a deal on your next purchase. Its worth a shot. WS6store hooked me up on a Y-pipe that was banged up. I saved about a hundred bucks.

yeah i wouldnt let it go without at least reporting it. that way if you have an issue both ups and the seller know whats going on and are not surprised weeks later.
