Yes, that's the tortite clamp, it's the best clamp money can buy.
The problem is that on the driver's side collector, the 02 sensor is in the way and you can't use a band clamp there cause of that. It may be possible to cut a notch in the clamp to clear the bung, but it would take so much meat out of the clamp I don't think it would seal anymore. You will see first hand when you get the headers in hand. Therefore, there's really no choice other than to weld on flanges, than to use an accuseal clamp or the Pacesetter U bolt and crimp down the OD pipe on the collector. This will seal it but you'll never get the pipe off again without cutting it out.
