Sure, thought you mean the connections.
They flatten them a bit for clearance over the cross member - I questioned it and they said that is how they make them and why, here is the side profile.

I bought the same about 6 month ago and they don't have the flatten section on them. They might have updated them after and if they did, it's not a good update since the flatten section seems random (longer on one pipe than on the other).

Ya I am not sure but it looks intentional and the way they were packaged it wasn't like it happened in shipping that I can see and doesn't seem to much on the pipe on the inside.

I am going to de-list this, based on the info from Sventastic, if his didn't have this flattened part, going to just file a claim on them maybe or talk more with company about it.
Mine didn't have the flattened part either, but they very slightly rubbed the cross member. Solved that with a couple washers on the cross member, no big deal. Sounds like this is a "fix" to the issue.
I highly doubt they got that way in shipping, the pipes are stainless and it would take a major hit that I would think would have destroyed the packing.
