I was thinking of cutting it and taking it to a shop and having them weld a pipe to connect after where the flange would be the other option would be to see if the sell a pipe that could make up the difference and getting one more band clamp . either way I was figuring I could just do away with the flange rather than trying to **** with it the pick doesnt do the rust justice but its widdled to nothing I would be able to drill into for sure or salvage by any means if ya think I might be wrong I can take some better pictures of it but it seemed like it came down to having them weld a new flange on or doing away with the flange that came with header and covering the gap with a pre cut pipe clamped or having it welded
