Default dented header

my header has a pretty big dent on the two bottom pipes from my car being so damn low. Is this causing any major power loss or should i not worry about it?

Most of the time there's not a noticeable power loss, though it's still going to be bit of a restriction. Unless it's a really big dent I wouldn't worry about it.

What kind of header... it might cause it to rust prematurely.

you shouldnt worry.

i had DC headers on my old prelude and it was so low that it dented and eventually knocked holes in it but i didnt notice any power loss. but a telephone pole took care of that car before i could have a problem with it haha
