I have heard that the flanges on the DC sport SS headers are NOT made from SS. Is this true? I did a search and cannot seem to find an answer. TIA.

damn, that sucks, I already ordered them. If the flanges are mild steel, doesn't that kind of make the rest of the header pointless to be stainless? Maybe I should have just gotten ceramic and saved the difference. Also, I don't think anyone else makes a header for the 03+ accord.

at least with the ceramic, they coat the welds too. so it looks like those guys who save a buck also get a better looking product in the end.
