Default Dented Hard Pipe

'86 951 - On the intercooler to intake manifold hard pipe(stock), I have a dent. It is not very deep, not like the whole pipe is collapsed, but about 1/2" deep maybe. Would this have any negative effect on performance/flow/etc.?

Thanks
Mike

Nah, I believe you, kinda like the stock exhaust is crushed i guess. I don;t know if this dent is supposed to be there or not, maybe I should take another look.

You can pressurise them and pop the dents out.

Good call, I just checked my dads car and they both have a kink in them in the same spot.
