1. A ball socket type flange like a MAC, but keep the opening 3", they do not leak and are simple.
2. Emission, no emission versions
3. Coated/uncoated versions( Cheaper)
4. 1 5/8 longtube version, I would buy these. I like the low end grunt a smaller tube provides, no one has these. I like the MAC's on my car. And would be perfect for bolt on cars.

Think you should make some with and without emissions fittings..and make some with y-pipe flanges and some without. Just pull the non-emission/slip fit one's off the line early and send them to be coated.
My personal preference would be no emissions and slip fit collector, maybe make them so the primary isn't so close to the abs connector like the hookers, and O2 bungs inboard. If you can get these out within a month I will buy, otherwise I will have to get the hookers and just cut the collector flanges off.
Not related to the headers per say, but can you put more or hit the area where the primaries meet the collector better with the coating, the last two sets of Hooker LT's I installed are showing signs of rust in that area only after a short period of time. Not a knock on ya, just an observation.
One last question, if you know you are gonna have them for mid January production, will you be offering soon the ability to pre order
Thanks

I think options are key, it shouldnt be too hard to make the 3 bolt flange an add on after production, butI really dont know it all about making headers 
Just make them fit without beating things up is all i ask

Hmmmmmm..
From what I understand it is an option when the headers are ordered. I had to have a shop weld flanges on mine as well as tap the bungs.

Regardless - Summit headers... Part 2231 all have flanges welded on. You may have to specify to *not* have them on, but order another set and $5 says they do.

My biggest complaints with the Hookers are the rusting after a SHORT period of time, the ports not matching, and the LACK OF A QUALITY Y-PIPE.
I had my headers narrowed down to 2 choices but yours may make it 3.
I am VERY glad that they'll be ready by January. Any chance they'll be ready by the 15th?
