Default Pacesetter question

I just got my pacesetters in today. They have provisions for egr and air since I don't have tuning capabilities at this time to delete the egr.The air bungs on the inside stick out in the middle of the primary at least a 1/4 inch. Just wondering if it's even worth it to grind them down flush. If I don't will it affect my flow much?

You talking about the O2 sensor bungs on the collector or the adapters for the egr and air stick out 1/4?

Can't see the Egr but the air is what I'm worried about. The O2 doesn't stick out that bad so I'm not worried about it.

I meant that it sticks out down inside the primary right in the exhaust flow.

I just got my pacesetters today and noticed the same thing. I was also debating if I wanted to grind it down. I was thinking it can't hurt that much. but then I want every bit of performance I can get so I think I will grind mine off

that's what poin I came to. I went ahead and did it any way. Like you said I want evry bit of horsepower possible. I used a pneumatic pencil grinder, worked pretty well.
