Aside from the flanges, just check to make sure that they're not too dinged up or bent. Big dents and whatnot can really affect flow.

The only thing that I would have changed about the TOG's (which is actually an easy fix) is to weld the bolts into the rear crossover so that they are more like studs. They can be a pain in the ass to tighten even with two people.
