Why oh why ...
Why do people make a nice shiny stailness steel exhaust system and then put mild steel flanges on it?
Is there some reason that I am not aware of that makes mild steel flanges preferable?
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

Im guessing a mild steel flange is a LOT cheaper than a stainless one?

machining stainless is a pain.
a lot of manifold guys grind the header flange flat with a long belt sander .
theyre reputed to be able to pull studs out of heads from distortion when hot also , altho ive never seen it in person.

I needed some machining done to mine after welding, it kept chewing up his milling cutters. Once he'd done it he told me he never wanted to see
it again lol
