square and flat with a gasket, which is the same as on 4.6L GT's and on the 96-98 cobra's.

they work fine back and forth.

You will also need to run a slip-in reducer for the driver's side flange, as they became 1/4" larger in 1999. Some pipes can make up for the difference. I know for a fact that MAC does not.
