Default Damaged pipe

I ran all day with the pipe like this, it sounds a little muted compared to my other 2058 pipe. What should I be looking for to tell if I should stop using the pipe. It seems to be running fine at the moment.

You can stick a large screwdriver in the stinger, hold the pipe tight and bend it all back in position. But this small dent should not make a difference in noise.

Fill with water, cap the end, cap the stinger and fuel nipple, freeze overnight. Dent gone.

Or cracked pipe. Ask me how I know...

Cap one end with a piece of tire tubing and a hose clamp. Put your schrader valve on the other. Put in 20 psi, and heat the dent. The air pressure will rise, and will push the dent out.
