Re: Can someone post a link that shows how to... Mike, there is really nothing to it. It is better to use a die grinder, but a dremel tool will work just fine. I have used both and the die grinder defintely makes the job much easier. <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> Grind down the excess welds in each of the primary tubes. It will be very obvious once you look at them. Grind them down until it is a nice smooth transition from the flange into the primary tube. Some primaries will be worse than others. Just take your time and when in doubt, stop grinding. Always err on the small side.. LOL Also, it is better to do this before they are sent off to get coated for cosmetic reasons. However, no one will be seeing them once you bolt them on the car. LOL Good luck!

Re: Can someone post a link that shows how to... Cool, thanks Jason. I will be using a Dremel tool to do the grinding. It sounds easy enough.
Thanks again <img src="graemlins/gr_xmas.gif" border="0" alt="[santa]" />

uh they're not porting the headers. Mac headers have really sloppy welds on the inside of the primaries inhibiting flow.
