Help with exhaust headers

Hi guys, I have a S4 N/A and I'm going to ask a friend of mine to make me some new exhaust headers for the car. My question is, is engine-to-header flange, the same as the one used on the 12A engine?

I'm asking this because I already have a 12A flange mold. I appreciate your answers.

Thanks.

The 13B has thicker rotor housings then the 12B so it won't line up perfectly. But I believe people mismatch 13B/12A headers with a little bit fudging.

racingbeat sells just the flange for situations just like yours.

Mazdatrix's flanges are $4 cheaper than RB's for both the steel and stainless steel 13b header flanges.
