Dented collectors and y pipe??

My car has a fair amount of kms on it and the suspension is stock so I guess it rides lower than it should and when I was trying to fix the airtube on the cat, I noticed that the exhaust system is all dented. Basically it looks to me like the drivers side collector because I can see a couple of smaller pipes and they are dented when they go into one.

The pipes arent crimped right off or anything, but do you think this would hinder performance alot?? Ill try to see if I can find some pics because the car is still burried under like 4 ft of snow right now.

It all depends on how many dents and how intrusive they are to flow. But unless it's crushed it probably won't hurt enough to worry about.
