Will this dent affect flow?

I was looking at buying some used headers and was wondering if a dent like this (likely made for clearance) would affect flow enough to matter.

Thanks in advance

It wouldn't be enough to hinder any kind of performance by the looks of it. If the deal is good enough in your eyes, I wouldn't let that dent hold me back.

I wouldn't do it - if you're going to cam and tune it you're going to want full flow from all the cylinders.

Well it's an extremely good price, and I won't be camming for a while. At this price, I could get them and if I do C/H I could get a new set and not feel so bad about it.
