Anyone have advice for flexpipe fro. These 3.5" collectors?

You can see the angle of Driver and Passenger sides are not the same. I have also heard flex pipe between headers and pipes is good bc it does add unnecessary pressure against your headers.

I thought I could find 3.5" to 3" flanged flexpipe but am not having luck.

Plan on making over 450hp or looking for every last tenth on the drag strip? If so, go 3". Otherwise, 2.5" is a little friendlier to run and fit over the rear axle. Yes 3" is done all the time, but its definitely a tighter fit.

I don't see how the Blackheart will line up any better if the collectors are crooked. Wouldn't it be better to slice the header and weld a wedge in? Are they uneven front to back as well? Can't tell from the pic...
