Chances are it's not going to decrease power.  I think it was MXA a few years ago who did a test where they hit their pipe in different places with a hammer to see what locations caused a power loss.  They were shocked to find that the only place that caused ANY loss was a pretty big smash close to the part of the pipe that connects to the engine.

I do not know if pipes.com is Mike Tredwell's Dad. But he did a great job on ours. At a very low cost also. He is in Rumford , Maine.

I was reading an article about piperepair.com the other day on another site. It's based off the west coast I believe.

I have dented my pipe a couple of times, I didnt notice any power change just as kieth was saying, but didnt like the way it looked. treadwell does a good job, a friend of mine races NEMX and has had his 4 stroke pipes fixed many times with him.
