Long tube Hedman or most long tube headers are better because they develope more low end torque which is what you want getting out of the hole.

The Flowtech LT's have a notched flange and one of the tubes is a slip-fit.

You have to finish cutting the flange where it's notched to get that tube out, but it does help ease installation. If you decide to use them, try using Permatex Copperseal on the slip-fit when you put it all together, it will help prevent any leaks.
