Post a link so we can get a better idea. I'm not a fan of OBX stuff.

I would be sure to make something to bolt them to when you weld them, outside of that and not putting to much heat to them while welding I think you should be OK. I'm not a big fan of OBX but these seem thick enough that if you are careful, you should be ok. I will warn you in advance that if you crank up the juice when welding them it probably will still warp so be sure you know whats up.

I'm sure this is a better option coming from turbof22a and a flange that a real person makes instead of some poor kid in china :)
