Sound about right ?

I do not want to dent the tube so much. Can not see why a small dent 1/4" deep will effect anything flow wise.
My Hookers have all sorts of dents in the tubes from the factory.
I would be surprised if the header touching the pan hurt the pan. Heads can be made of aluminum.

Engine masters did a header test and the dented almost every inch of the pipe with no power reduction to my memory
