I want to grind down the AIR tubes where they run into each primary tube. They go inside thetube a good distance so i think it would help if they were cut back a bit. A little less restriction... good idea? forget it?

go to town w/ the grinding. I did it and seems to be fine. They do seem like a HUGE restriction.
