Get rid of the 3 or 4 bolt flanges and use the band style clamps

dfree's clamp is definately the way to go for slip fit but if you want to keep the old school header flange intact like mine I use generous ultra copper on both sides of a common gasket and mine never leak. I lock washer the bolts and drill them down "arrrrrrggg" tight. Done.
