I think the chebby was over piped to start with so a few dents didn't hurt.
But yeah I was surprised, I remember being so precise when I made some fenderwells for my race car, should have slapped them together in half the time and picked up some mumbo.

I suspect the headers were not the optimum size for that motor. If they were sized for maximum performance to begin with you'd definitely see a performance loss altering the tubes.Just my $.02 Dave  for sure.

My pro parts headers on my 505 pump gas engine picked up 500 RPMs at idle when the header gasket blew out. No mufflers.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead
