Default question

Can a backfire from retarded timing cause a bend in the exhaust pipe to collapse?

Can't really imagine how a backire could collapse a pipe but I have seen them blow mufflers apart.

Im just trying to figure out why my exhaust manifolds are turning red. I think it could be from the bent exhaust pipe(which i have no idea how the got like that.) Crushed together from the sides of the pipe, left to right.
