Default Do all Nismo headers have messy welds inside?

I was looking at the set of Nismo headers I just got and I noticed that on each bank where the three pipe's collect. That each one of them (each of the 3 pipes) had a nasty weld bead in the flow path. And several of the ports at the flange were not as smooth as they could be.

I snaked a dremel on a flexible shaft into the collector and cleaned all the pipe welds up and I smoothed out any port that needed it.

Did anyone notice if their Nismo headers had what I'm talking about?

Thats a good question, I bought the headers used. They came off of one of EVO350's race cars. So I don't know the answer.

Will those fit on the US Spec Z? The NISMO Japan Headers that is.

To Greddy 4777,

How much did you have to indent your headers? I am having the same problem. They have been indented; however, when I accelerate on a hard right-hand turn, I still get vibrations.

Can you help me on this one?

Thanks
