Make sure to bolt the flange down to a flat Jig to prevent any warpage, as stainless steel really likes to pull, even the crappy grade the factory uses.
Thanks Chris, appreciate your comments. That's exactly what was going through my head while grinding.
I was quite careful. Worst case, I will come back and buy your headers.
I actually really like your design. Thanks for posting all pictures. Makes a huge difference.
Cheers,
On another note, shipping to Canada, can you avoid UPS?
Say, USPS, FedEx or just about any other carrier for that matter. I'm sure other Canucks will appreciate too.
