If you have warped flanges, cut the flanges between each of the pipes. Each pipe then has it's own discrete flange. This really helps on crappy headers with thin flanges. Some guys swear by soaking the header gaskets in water so they swell prior to install. Then they take a better "set" once heated, never tried it myself though.
