Default Problem with Headers???

I bought a pair of headers from a member on here. They are kooks stepped style headers. 1-3/4 - 1-7/8. My question is why are the ends cut? They look like C's at the end. Do they come like this? Here is a pic.

yeah, thats no big deal. It might be so you can install one bolt and hang the header from it while installing the others? I dont know. It wont hurt anything though.
