Got this new exhaust backbox for our E46 M3.

Its T304 stainless.

2 of the tips are bent though - anyone got any ideas of how to try to straighten the tips out a bit, bearing in mind it is quite thick steel so quite strong?

 

if you ordered it new then why not complain and get a replacement?

 

Use the handle of a wooden hammer to knock it out. Or even a small nylon hammer.
