Default 12 300 pipe guard + repair

I have managed to put 2 tennis ball size dents in my expansion chamber and i have researched repair options and i like the freezer option but im curious if anyone has done this with success or if there is a story of failure? Also im after a pipe guard and im keen on the p3 but im after a good supplier any ideas?

Pretty sure Trooper Lu's is the Australian dealer for P3. Might have one in stock even. Give em a go.

Never tried freezing a pipe. My P3 has kept my stocker in top shape. Haven't ploughed anything at pace either though.

I am starting to think I may also need a p3.
Maybe we should do a group buy?
I have two golf ball size dings and one tennis ball size dings in mine also.
Cheers Mark

Not too worried yet .
I was of the opinion that I would replace the pipe and repair the old one once it was off but if the pipe dents this easy I reckon I will go a p3.
I had a hyde on the 07 and the pipe was still good the day I sold it , except that the bloke I bought it off had hit it hard b4 I he had the guard on and bent the part that goes into the motor , so it chewed through o-rings.
We will see how it looks after the Aorc round( cross country and then sprint on the second day). If it is worse then , then I will be looking to purchase.
Cheers Mark

I am not sure.
I have been feeling like mine is not as gutsy as it was but I reckon I am just getting used to the power????
I am not good enough to feel the difference
Cheers Mark

I have used pipe end plugs that were fabricated with a rubber stop/metal back plate/set screws that fasten it to the ends of the pipe. Then heating the dented area with a torch till the dent pops out due to the air pressure in the pipe along with the pliable hot metal. I have heard too many stories of people spitting pipes open with the freezer method, too uncontrolled.
