I was very impressed with the flange thickness and overall thickness of the headers . Took a bit of force to dimple the one tube even heated . Now I need to get some pipes for the exhaust

I've run headers on vehicles in the past, and leaks were always an issue. I've stayed away from them for decades because of that. I'd be interested to know if those stainless headers ring less than the regular steel type. I'd like to get the engine in my truck rebuilt sometime in the future, and wouldn't mind seeing the cast iron manifolds gone, but that ringing is unacceptable to me.
