Default Recieved LGM headers pictures & question

I recieved my LG Motorsport Longtubes in the mail a few days ago, and i was wondering if this is normal. 7 out of 8 welds were good, but this last one seems like it spilled over to the head mating surface on the flange. Should i grind this down or will it weaken it structurally? Or should i just go ahead an install it the way it is?



It seems like it would mess up the gasket or cause a sealing problem. what do you guys think?

i dont think it should make too much of a difference, but if you want to ground it down i know it wont effect it structurally ( if thats a word) just grind it for piece of mind.

It won't hurt anything to true it up a little.

A little grinding, then a quick once over with a good flat file to make sure you're true will give good peace of mind.

I would defiantly grind it down to prevent leaks.
You might even call LG up and see what they think.
