Default Leftover metal protruding into the collector the under O2 sensor bungs

I finally got my ARH headers today and noticed some leftover metal protruding into the collectors. Is this going to affect the flow and should I do something about it?

Engine masters tested the effects of dents on a set of headers using a dyno. They did back to back testing putting bigger and larger dents in the headers and found no difference. The slag won’t affect anything.

if u get bored check out the episode.

*although u could probably get a dremel in there and knock it down if it makes u feel better.

This will not hurt flow, at all. Your o2 sensor will be in front of that anyway...
