Think of it this way, would you deliberately run with an air leak in the intake? Then you definitely shouldn't run with an air leak in the exhaust...!!!
Additionally, you spent some serious cash on the kit, if that flange doesn't fit properly it will never be as good as it could be, and who doesn't want to get value for money from their tuning?!

How much would it cost to get them machined flat? I know it depends on the shop but is a relatively cheap fix (say under $150)?

Because what I smell is kind of strong. I currently have the a/c set to recirculate. |
You live in OKC so i'm sure you can work something out with SBD (based in Oklahoma) to help you with the problem. Perhaps u could bring ur car by his shop and Chris can help u troubleshoot the problem for a modest fee? If I lived in OKC, that's probably what I would do.
