I got my LT's today and noticed the flanges are warped to i took them to a machine shop and got out the straight edge. There was as much as .048 gap in the center. is this normal?

Not sure if this matters but did you tighten the bolts from the center out?

its not normal to me
Ive only bought 3 sets of headers over the years, but I've never had any warped
they should replace or fix them at their cost IMO
