How bent can the honeycomb be?

I searched but couldn't find any info on how much is excessive damage to the honeycomb. This is what I'm working with. Is it worth trying to repair or should I just replace it?

I had only a few bends in my old AFM and that alone caused my car to run like ass. Id say replace it.

i never had the honeycomb and my car ran just fine without it.

I'd replace it. I'm sure the frequency is determined by the airflow across the honeycomb. I didn't think they'd run properly without it. Should'nt be hard to find a parts one...I have one if you can't. gl.

Looks completely unusable to me.

I got one for $15 shipped. No electronics.

without it any twisting of the incoming air will affect the reading the sensor picks up

I got an AFM circuit CEL today so I think I'm going to get one with electronics and a good honeycomb.
Thanks guys.
