I plan on doing back to back testing of stock manifolds and up pipes to headers and large up pipes but Im over 800 RWHP so this still may not answer your question the way you want it answered. 
Headers and hi flow up pipes

tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic tic... very annoying. I've talked to Midwest about it over a month ago, they claim to be working on a fix. I called 5 days ago and Landon has yet to return my phone call. And the coating doesn't seem to be holding up very well.

I think they have a ball or cone type joint on the newest version i saw a while back at the shop. This replaces the gasket between the header and up pipe on the earlier versions.
Thats not normal. Send it to me and let me at least replace the flex. I can't do nothing about the coating, but lets at least STOP the leak. Did we talk about this already?
JM, he already has the v-band.

Why can't a machined slip fit be used like the Cummins exhaust manifolds? I would ASSume if the slip fit was long enough and close tolerance you wouldn't have an isssue.. or possibly capture one end and then let the other free float inside it.
While it would eventually blacken the firewill pretty good, you may be on to something.
Two strokes often use something similiar with springs. They can expand, yet leak very little.
North on St. Joe. I am a buddy of Coreys, (GRAYAREA) he has the red ecsb that has spent alot of time at MDP. I met you at MDP last summer the day of Oak Groves pull.
I have yet to see an ATS 3 piece manifold leak much at all...
Hope that works for you Rick. Let me know if you need anything.. Just got a 3 axis CNC at the shop. It's like christmas every day!

How is Corey's truck doing?
Here is my first feeble attempt at the slip fit. The discoloration on the pipe is from heating it with a rusebud while bolted on to the motor. Just wanted to see what it would do with heat. Hopefully next week we'll see how it seals while on a running motor.
Thanks Brayden, we'll do.

Yes. We talked in the beginning of march, you kindly offered to replace the flex when we talked and I was going to give MDP a little longer to see what they could come up with.
Nothing!
I'm embarassed to drive the truck it sounds so terrible.
Never Satisfied, You are the only one then that I know of that's leaking. At least I'm glad of that. Let me know. My offer to fix it still stands.
