I too have that POS speed daddy header, I talked to a lady that works there on the phone about it when I first got it and noticed the warpage of the flange, I think she said I could send it back if it didn't work but that was a long time ago so idk. Anyway long story short I've been through 3 gaskets trying to fix the leak and no luck, the latest thing I did was cut the flange where it was warped to allow it to flex and conform to the head, I think it worked or at least to the point I don't notice it any more. My advice would be call and see if they'll let you return it, or at least exchange it for another one that might be made right.
