Can this be fixed? Muffler Tip

One of the tips on my Greddy Evo2 appears to be slightly bent. The person who sold it to me failed to inform me that the exhaust was not covered under warranty...although brand new, so I am stuck with it. If you look at the right of the tip you will notice that it is not curved correctly. I would love to get this fixed though. Is it possible?:

find a ball or something round that will get it back to a circular shape. Make sure you can pop it back out and don't forget to take it out before starting the engine. Potatoe or canonball should help, something firm!

If you are talking about the exhaust tip not being round, then a body shop should be able to fix that easily. It's just simple metal work. If you are talking about the tips not being centered, you can try loosen the mounting bolts to the mufflers and readjust the position.

I was actually able to get the mufflers more even yesterday. But with this post, I was referring to the actual tip and how it is not a perfect circle. The right side of the tip appears uneven. After I evened the mufflers though, it is definitely less noticeable. I guess I will go get quotes from some body shops to see if this is worth my money to fix.
