Dented Headers really effect your performance? I have the infamous SLP LTs and the passenger side is dented really bad. How much rwhp you think is taking away from it?
Or-
Is it ok, it shouldnt hurt things that much..

You should be fine with damage like that. As long as it's not pinching off the primary very bad, I wouldn't sweat it at all.
I hit a ******* iceberg of asphalt sticking out of a country road and did the same thing to my Kooks, even knocked the nut off the bottom of my K&N oil filter.

HA, that sucks ^^^^. How did you not see that? My roads aren't that bad, but close.
BTW, I ran over the majority of an 18 wheeler tire on the Hwy doing 60 once. It was IMMPOSSIBLE to avoid. It was in a construction zone with barriers on both sides and suv's all around me. Traffic never slowed down because all them damn trucks and SUV's were high enough to go over it while I slammed into it getting airborne. It took paint of my bumper and tore it on the bottom and ripped my passenger side rocker panel off. I was pissed.

They've since fixed the road, but everytime I drive over it I cringe, even while driving the explorer. The funny thing is I was only driving the t/a that day because it was 100 degrees and the a/c in the explorer wasn't working and I was on my way to NAPA to pick up a new low pressure sensor.
**** happens, luckily the car was okay in the end and I was fine.
