Default Header Flanges!

So who has the thickest header flanges?
I have looked at dozens of header sites and they have 5/16" flanges, or don't say. I've been looking for 3/8" flanges.

Everybody has ceramic coated headers anymore...So I'm just trying to find the best with the heaviest materials.

Hedman Elite headers have 3/8" flanges, but they are ceramic coated. They also have thicker tubing. If you don't like the coated look, you could always paint them with a high heat black. I have the elite headers on our 65 Malibu and my 72 truck. Both sets are nicely made.
