Backed over a small stump out in the woods and bent my side outlet tailpipe at the exhaust hanger so the pipe now sticks out a few inches further than the tire.
Any suggestions on how to bend it back?
I was thinking maybe a ratchet strap and a blowtorch.
I have no idea what a muffler shop would charge. Any muffler guys in the OT?

I bent a tailpipe once. Used a piece of wood stuffed inside it to bend it back.

You can use a wooden broom handle to put inside and slowly bend it back...ideally you do this after driving a distance. Warm metal is more playable.
