Is that the Magic/Majesty IC? Do you know if you got the Bar and plate version or the Tube and fin? I can only seem to find tube and fin, but haven't seen any logs on the version 2.

Yes it is the Magicsty 2.5" core and it is bar and plate.

Very nice. Did you purchase recently? Been looking on Ali and Ebay for the B&P version, but just keep finding the tube and fin.

no

I am being offered a 10% discount to keep this one. I'm not desperate for money, but are the bent fins critical to the IC's performance? If so, I'll just request a replacement.

Just get a fin comb. As long as its not leaking from the bars then its fine. Bent fins just block some airflow but you can bend them back easily. they probably just got knocked against something in packaging or warehouse

Is that a tool for straightening out the fins?

Yup. Can be bought for about 10 bucks or cheaper. or just get a small piece of plastic and straighten them all out individually

If you have the patience to use a fin comb you can straighten them out. Something like this should work:

You can google around for different models. Mainly you want to straighten out the fins so air can flow freely.

Got it. Honestly, considering that ebay IC a fellow member posted above and how great it looks, I think i shouldn't have to spend time finagling with an AMS IC that's double the price. And who knows what other damage there may be there. What if it does leak? I think I'll just request a replacement.
