I'd still be tempted to do flex over sleeve though.

Might also contact APS and see if you can get a deal on an upgrade to V2 no flex bit.
I original tried to bring my car into a couple of quality welding shops. Nobody wanted to see me unless I took the header off the car and hence, need the measurements.

My APS header is a V2. My V1 weld's cracked and they replaced it. My V2's weld's cracked, they told me I was no longer under warrenty. V3's cracked as well and V4 got rid of the flex sections completely and had no more problems (that I know of). It's all moot anyways because APS doesn't import to the USA anymore anyways or seem to make parts for Subaru's anymore either.
