They will straighten out when you tighten them up! Nothing wrong here!

All headers are like that. Use good gaskets and tighten them down. Run 20 min retighten. They will be 100 percent fine

This just happened to me haha will never go budget again! Lesson learned. My machine shop couldn’t do it on a mill machine so now I have no idea what to do.

I had that Problem in the past. I fixed it by doubling up on cork gaskets. Fixed it every time and never leaked.

Just cut the flanges, so each cylinder is independent

i used to love these guys but this here is the kicker for me. even if they were machined perfectly flat from the factory they will still warp on the first long drive
