Before you have any welding done, I would call Jeff at Maximum Tuning. I'm sure he can give you some suggestions on how to fix that. He's in Glen Cove, which isn't too far, actually from you.

ok, let me start this by saying i've NEVER installed any exhaust peices on any car, EVER.

but can't you just go in and loosen ALL the bolts on the y-pipe and the header, and then you'll have a little more play, and then you might be able to match up the y-pipe to the header....

then you put the bolts through the fittings that aren't currenlty coming together (might still be a little off) but tighten these first...

then go and tighten the rest of the bolts...

The only problems I can think of would be stress on the components (from forcing them into fitment via tightening the loose bolts).

but hey, maybe this stuff won't give any at all...I have no clue, like I said, I've never done this...but it's just an idea.

peace
