If you take them off, you can en-large the holes and make them smoother

Tones the man to answer this question as he has done a few sets i believe

might be stating the obvious but the 3bolt one will only fit the GTspec style headers with the 3bolt flange...........the std 2bolt up-pipes are totally different style

Tone did a great job on mine and I would say it's a must.
