Thanks for the quick review!!!
Hope you like our product! As for the weld being shaved down, you can try it, but might weaken then weld and might have a chance to snap so I would be careful with it. Also the dyno we did on the intake, is pretty much the intake you got.
If you grind them down I wont think it will change anything: preformance-wise.
