Welcome to the forum! Please take a moment to visit the User Control Panel and update your profile to include your location (at least country). This information will then appear below your name and avatar on the left side panel next to each post you make. This will greatly help others to give you better information. If you are using the mobile version of the site, you will need to switch to the "full" version to get to the User Control Panel.
To answer your question, it's not a problem. You may get slightly degraded low-end torque, or lower MPG at highway speeds, but it won't damage anything. A word of advise, though. Then you remove the manifold for the repair, check everything to make sure the tumble flaps and swirl flaps operate smoothly. If they bind, you could have carbon buildup in the manifold. That could cause the flaps to crack and pieces can get sucked into the combustion chamber and cause serious problems If you think this might happen, replace the entire manifold.
