What Happens To An Engine's Power Output If The Manifold's Dented?

So, if i build a drift missile i’ll be sure to bash my manifold in😂
A small summary of the result would be nice, if you bother to make an article…..
“dented”
“How well does a pair of beat up hookers perform?” :D
This test just showed that the tubes were way too big in the first place. Everyone with knowledge of fluid dynamics can confirm that a smaller diameter does make a big difference.
Smaller diameter pipes increase the speed of the exhaust gasses which helps to pull them out of the cylinder and helps get more air into the cylinder as well (because of intake/exhaust cam overlap)
So… basically the headers weren’t engineered to start with.. big surprise.
What if they dent it and give it some nitrous shots?
im imagining it has little effect due to the pipes being under very high pressure naturally when ran at high RPM at low RPM i doubt there is sufficient flow to make the dents matter.
Fit the rest of the exhaust system and see how well it flows.
