Deformed y pipe, need repair suggestions. [Pictures]
I've got a problem with a Warpspeed y pipe i was sold recently by a member. Was titled to be in great shape, working condition, etc. But on arrival, once bubble wrap was removed, i noticed the end that connects the the cat, part of the lip was bent back, not allowing it to meet flush with the cat.
you can see the gap/warp it causes
Unattached, it looks something like this.
Where the arrow is pointing is where the lip is bend back.
Any ideas what I can do?
I need to know before i remove it again so i can buy another set of new gaskets before doing any work.
Some suggested i take it to a exhaust shop, would they have luck "re-forming" it?

Looks like there already is 2 gaskets in there, which IMO and experience, doesn't work well at all. I'd probably just drive to the persons house who sold it to me and hit them with it... haha no jk, I'd probably just cut and have a new flange welded on at a reputable exhaust shop.

I'd have to say I hate exhaust problems the most.
