Is this normal for Skunk2 Alpha headers?

I just got my headers in, and took a quick look at the collector and the runners. Not really sure what they're supposed to look like inside, but I remember seeing a picture of one and it didn't look like this... One of the runners has a tiny dent in it where it is awfully close to the other runner-- is this something to worry about at all? My brain thinks it is cosmetic and isn't going to matter, but out of principle, I feel like new products shouldn't look like this... Any educational thoughts are appreciated!

Thanks!!

They definitely didn't spend much time with the die grinder in there. I would send the pics to skunk.

They look functionally fine but if the dint bothers you send them photos and see what they say.
