revhard manifold... should i slice the head flange?

i guess it would help a little if u cut the flange, but if the flange is losing shape, wouldnt this mean that theres more stress put onto the manifold runners? this would cause it to crack on the runner?

Is the flange MILD steel? if so, you will do just fine leaving it.
If its Stainless steel, then It wont hurt to slice those like pictured above. Since SS do have high expansion rate.

Slicing it won't do a damn thing.

I had the same manifold on my prelude... It's actually a short tubular manifold not cast that cracked in 3 places after 3 months of use.
