But it will look funny with a three bolt flange with nothing bolted to it... lol

well i think i decided to go wiht what you said.... when i pull the motor next year to do internals.... im going to just cut it all off and do normal v-bands and have the things recoated (along with everything else).
What you said will be fine for now.
BTW... these headers are SUPPOSED to be stainless.. so rusting should not be too big of a problem...
