Default Damaged my intercooler!

Dear H-T,

Today I went to look under my car and noticed that the bottom of my intercooler is damaged. I think it was damaged from bottoming out while driving my car. The bottom of the intercooler is slightly bent and the fins are smashed. I am wondering if this will greatly reduce the efficiency of the intercooler. Is there also a way to fix it? Thanks in advance.

Well the bottom frame is bent enough that the fins are pretty smashed up. Looks like its squished.
