I don't think so, but i'm not sure. That picture second to last looks like some grinding might have been done on that pair already. If it was, they didn't remove much at all, at least not enough to make any difference I don't think.

by the looks of it, they've been ground down, but not nearly enough.

the stock manifold tapers at the end of the runners on both sides. Your two corner runners look completely flat.

hit that thing with some carb and choke cleaner or brake parts cleaner, just don't do it over your driveway or you'll have nice brown streaks all over.
