Y-Pipe Question

Hey guys,
I may be buying some hooker 2055's but theres one problem. The headers are fine but the y-pipe is kinda bent in. Will I be able to fix the section of the y-pipe thats kinked, or will i need a new y-pipe? And if i leave it the way it is and use it, will it hurt my cars performance?
Heres a couple pics:

Is this a good deal? Hooker 2055's + Y-pipe for 200 shipped? Here are pics of the headers and pics of the y-pipe are in my first post.

Rich92 RS why don't you order the Y pipe that goes with the 2055 Headers? Seems to me that would make things match up better.
