I bought a similar header for my Midget 1500 from Ted Schumacher
(tsimportedautomotive.com)
It's a Maniflow unit that's constructed like yours, with two separate primaries
and a collector. The collector on mine has two slots cut in each of the two
collector tubes, and came with two band-style exhaust clamps, like these:

I don't plan on using a sealer.
