I'd say yes.. don't know how much though. How big is the dent? If it's big enough to hit the ceramic matrix(wouldn't take much), you've cracked some of it... the verry small tunnels are no longer lined up, causing restriction and turbulance. I suspect you wouldn't notice a whole lot of difference though, since the cat is a restriction too.
