When they suggest grinding the welds they are refering to stock headders so yes you can. Just take your headders off and grind the weld on the edge with a dremel and you are done. I have seen pics on the forums somewhere but i can't find them.

The welds are about a half inch inside the header. Ther is one on each pipe commin out of the motor and they go all the way around. Just put ur finger in there and rub it around and u will feel them. I just used a dremel tool and ground em smooth. If u have any more questions, dont be afraid to PM me.

Hope I helped.:)
