An '85 has a Catalytic converter after that y.  They aren't going to get
sucked into the engine, but they are going to very slightly plug a couple
passages of the cat.    Scrub the visible ones out with a wire brush if you
can, and just don't think about those that you can't see...  The welds are
all near the pipe ends, so there won't be many around the bend.
