I just bought these headers, and the kid said all u had to do was weld on a new flange, cause for some reason it was cut off... But yea, can i still use these with a new welded on flange?

Of course you can. Get a new flange from a junked header or get one from a local parts strore. Make sure it's the same bolt pattern on the flange. Plus, make sure it's welded properly so it will line up perfectly.

theres no reason why it isnt usable
its metal... it can be re-used again and again

just a matter of welding it

Or you can go to an exhaust shop and have them do it for you.

You would need to weld it so it uses a donut and connects like stock, otherwise, when the motor torques, you might break the studs on the head or something. Or you could just a flex pipe.
