Question Is this dent in header ok, buying soon!

http://home.earthlink.net/~mike.watkins/macs/

Buying MAC's with custom off road pipe for $200. I am short on money so I would like to get them but if this will affect performance I guess I will pass. The flanges look straight just the tube is dented. What do you guys think. Thanks.

From the pic the dent doesnt look to bad, it shouldnt hurt performace, if you look at most Ls1's with long tubes 90% of them are dented from hanging so low

It looks like a don't-care to me, you might be
able to push it out if you have bodywork tools
or even a crowbar.

Dent doesnt look big enough to hurt performance much at all. Unless you are worried about looks I would say go for it.

I was actually going to buy THAT very set of headers a month ago or so, but passed because of that very dent. Looks like he lowered the price since then so I would probably go for it now.
