Has anyone removed the AIR tubes on a set of aftermarket headers?

Has anyone removed the AIR tubes on a set of aftermarket headers? I got a deal on some Edelbrock ceramic headers but I don't want to use the tubes. They are brazed/welded so I can't just unthread them.

I had some Edelbrock Tes headers. I cut the tubes off and welded them closed.
