Default WANTED NZ: Bashed up pipe

I am looking to practice my expansion chamber exhaust repair skills. Anyone in NZ got one collecting dust that they don't want?

I'm considering it to try be helpful, but the issue is the first bend is twisted, I changed the pipe do this is my spare in case of a smash.

Must be some local mx club where people buy new pipes and have cast offs.

I crunched my pipe badly on my last ride before I left Swaziland, and have a similar spare to yours - also bent at the neck.
I bought a pipe repair kit that uses water pressure and am hoping it solves the neck bend as well (I have read that it does but not sure yet). And you know how it is when you get a new tool ... you want to use it and my pipe is about a month away.
I will try the ex gasgas dealer here at some stage. But with my limited tools at the moment I am only looking to try it out on a pipe that if it works it’s a bonus, if not then no loss.
Who knows if it works I may turn it into a little business - the usual bike related business where you make $10 so you can spend $20
