How big is the dent?
If it's crushed shut, yeah, you'll have a problem.

Send it to www.piperepair.com . I think thats the website. Theres a way to do it your self but its pretty unsafe and dangerous. Or you can use a dent puller and just weld that holes shut after. (you will need to make holes in the pipe to use the dent puller).

the closer the dent to the exaust flang the more of an affect it will have. also people can plug one end then heat the dent up with a tortch then use compressed air to pot it back out, i have never done it tho

If the pipe is dented, your local bike repair shop should be able to hook you up for about $25. If it is "crushed" you will need a new pipe.
