Not a bad idea. It looked like the l locks need a little extra material. There's quite a gap there.

You want that gap, helps grab the valve. From the factory the exhaust locks butted each other, allowing the valve to rotate. Old trick was to grind the ends down so there was a gap allowing them to really grab the valve stem.
