Free Headers, little banged up

I just got a free set of headers, a couple of the single pipes have some dents in them, quite banged up, maybe two on one, one on the other. Can this be fixed? Is there any way to pull the dents out? Would running the headers with the damage be worth it? vs. the manifold I have now?

the dents may come out if you heat them with a torch until they turn dull red and allow to cool. just heat the spot you need to work with, not the whole tube. don't know if it works on headers or not but i've worked structural steel this way.
