Default Problem with Kooks Headers

The car 2001 Z06 w/427

Well, I have set of Kooks Headers and the AIR tubes have block off plates.

The drivers side weld failed and the AIR tube came off. I called Kooks tech support and they told me that it happens all the time because the AIR ports are not suppose to be blocked off.

Does this make sense?
Has anybody else had this problem?

TIA

Don't really see why they should break off unless it was a bad weld.
