Default building my exhaust system..

hello

I got my hedman headers in place.
Im going to use my stock y-pipe as for now.
I have cut it behind the precats, just before the tube starts to turn uppwards.
I have put it in place, and the length of my newly cut y-pipe is correct BUT ( there is always a but ), the angel is off.
Now, i cant use standard pipe bends that exhaust shops sells, becuse its to tight.
The only option I have is to custom make bends using a welder. Another option I thougt of I using some kind of "flex" pipe? Is that ok? And where can I get those?

Thanks

All you realy need is the short "Y" piece in front of the cat, right?

Then you can cur & weld sections of 3" tubing to contour.
