Certainly! You should have seen me when I first joined this forum. I was asking questions nonstop! It's how you learn.

As far as the terminolgy: Most people refer the the main four exhaust pipes coming off the engine as the header or head pipes. After that,you have the muffler or maybe just a tail pipe.

I have banged up my head pipes on speed bumps quite a few times. These bikes sit pretty low,IMO. Dents are not optimum,but it'd have to be pretty much crushed flat to do what you're describing. Even if it was collapsed the half of the original size I don't think it would show up as an issue. Unless maybe at max rpm.
