No, a groove/bead is not necessary when you upgrade to the 75mm TB. You have to use larger, smooth silicon hose vs. the OEM hose with the molded lip for the larger throttle body. Once installed, there is no way for the hose to move out of place due to the tight fit and with a good clamp, it seals perfectly with smooth silicon hose. The smooth hose also provides the ability to trim the hose length as necessary for better for/aft adjustability and final fit. There is really no need for the lip. Sorry, I do not have an underside picture at this time.

If you purchase a Y-Pipe for the OEM TB, then we machine a groove in like the OEM version, in order to re-use the OEM connector. However, hardly anyone that buys an upgraded Y-Pipe will stick with the OEM throttle body. We have only sold one or two like that...

Here is a picture of the machined lip for the OEM hose.

Nice product. Great detail, but as mark said the nipples.. I would bead the end by doing the first step of a double flare. It makes a nice bead.
