After looking at many headers including the stainless ones. I bought some hookers. They were real junk I had to send them back. warped flanges.

I ended up with HEDMAN headers. 1 5/8 with 3 in collector.
These were built very well. Only problem is(and I think I may send them back)
when they were ground flat at the flanges, only one tube is ground to much. I dont want future problems with leaking gaskets. I know how they square the flanges and it looks like only one got grounded down almost flat but at an angle. In the pic you can tell it has a lip on the bottom that will seal with the gasket, on the top you can see it is ground just about flat with the flange.

What should i do? am I over thinking this?? return or install?
