from my understanding the two blot flange does indeed take stress off the headers, my car does not have a flex pipe. My idea is get a three blot flange .5 in length pipe and a two bolt flange make an adaptor this way I still have the two bolt flange which will take the stress off the headers. "if you knew much about welding you can figure out why." not to sure what you meant buy this since I have welded and do know something about welding??
