catback pipe damaged, loss of hp??

Long story short, had a situation where my rear axle went up high (hit a median with the tire) and contacted the over the axle part of my 3" catback.

It put a dimple in it, I'd say it went from 3" to 2.5" because of it.

They(catback manufacturers) make a big deal about mandrel bent and how it gets more power etc etc, now since I kinda messed up my catback, is there any loss of power or what? It''s really a pain to replace the catback because of a dent in the pipe...............
