Default TTS headers: pic of AIR connection

Look at this pic: the AIR pipes enter about 1/2" in the exhaust.
Is it normal? Looks so strange to me....
This is a pair of TTS LT headers for my 98 TA.

Thanks for your comment!

mmh... should I grind them out to get the AIR ends close to the inner wall of the pipe? A Dremel should fit.
Just hope the TTS aren't a POS!!!

Thanks - Stefano

I asked the same question when I got mine. I believe they do that so you don't burn out the check valves in the air system. It does add a bit of turbulence, but saves the check valves. If you grind them down you will ruin the hot coat in that area. I would call TTS first.

I called TTS today: the A.I.R. pipes are that long to allow better air-mixing into the exhaust gases. The highest gas velocity is in the middle of the pipe, the fresh air has to be injected right there.

Makes sense to me!

Thanks anyway for your answers.
