Is my LT repairable or destroyed?

Attached you will find a picture of the collector of one of my Pacesetter LT headers. As the title states, is this repairable or is my header destroyed? Let me know if you have any questions/need additional information. Thanks.

about 3.5 years ago, I could not for the life of me, disconnect my headers from my ypipe. so, in went the screwdriver to shrink the collector down to assist in the removal process.

I'd play around with it before you buy new ones. Heat it up and try to bang it back to shape. You can also use some vice grips once you've got it good and heated up and see if you can pull it back to shape.
