there might be performance issue due to it restricking the flow. i dont think they will undent it for you. only cut that park out and reweld another piece there.

it will definately affect performance if its "pretty dented," so just take it to a muffler shop and like tngay said, they'll cut that section off and weld in a new piece then, its a new header so ur not stupid for buying used stuff
