Repairing a bent tail pipe

I'm looking for a cat back exhaust to replace my stock one, and there's a 'damaged' one for sale that interests me. The tail pipe looks like it's taken a knock and someone has had a decent go at straightening it out. If I bought it, I'd want it to be perfect tho, so I'm wondering how difficult it would be to get it perfect - is it the sort of thing that you could give to a fabricator and expect them to be able to get it looking good as new again?? It's not a bad price, but it's not a bargain either.

Looking at it, 'perhaps' you could straight cut it 5mm or so back from the current tip and get to the non distorted section? Not sure on the usual 'stick out' distance of a Nur? Probably could add a thick 2nd cat spacer if needed without causing much hassle to the mounting points?

It's apparently been in storage for 10 years, so who knows how old it is. I've been keeping an eye out for ages for one (not necessarily a nur spec) but it seems difficult to find anything that's not either new and big bucks, or the cheap ebay systems. Have tried Keron a couple of times but no joy, I have the money burning a hole in my pocket :D

Selling my HKS Superdragger for £250

 

As pictured, some road rash on the underside of the exhaust as shown, never affected use. No holes, rust is just surface rust all mountings are in tact. Heat Wrapping was to stop vibration on car, nothing else.
