Question About headers

Question About headers
I have hooker Long Tubes on my TA....
where the collectors bolt to the exhaust is bent on both sides and will not seal...
So I was thinking maybe I could cut the flanges an install and exhaust clamp would this have any problems sealing??

the pipes themselves aren't bent just the flanges where the bolt together....that clamp is a butt clamp designed for butting 2 pipes up that are the same diameter.... so if i cut the y pipe off straight and the header off straight they would just butt up then that clamp should seal them right?
Does that make better sense?

It may seal just fine then. I would have some exhaust mounting brakets welded near where the exhaust clamps together since it isn't a slip fit design. I see there being too much stress where it clamps together without brackets. You could try it that way first though and see how it works out.

Can you have the Y pipe open up wider by a half inch or so to slide over the header then put a clamp on it.
I used these clamps.

That's a good idea. I wish I had read this while my car was on a lift today. Was doing my first clutch install and would have been so easy to seal up the leaky Y pipe to I pipe connection.
