I doubt its really that big of a deal. Mine are like that also and the shop said its not worth worrying about it unless I really mod the hell out of my car. You could probably take them off and take the downpipe to a good welder and he may be able to grind that part off and make a new patch to get rid of the flat part. I just dont have time to mess with it now.
