Header Pipe 200 1993

Not knowing my way around my 240 completely yet, I inadvertently bought the wrong header pipe at the junk yard. I got one with the EGR when I do not need that one. I have come to discover that, not only is it too short, it is at the wrong angle. I solved the length part by fashioning a 2.5" connector, but the angle is still off, thus not allowing the pipe to seat correctly at the manifold.

My question is...Should I take the pipe to a muffler shop and have them bend/cut and insert a bend...or...Scrap the pipe and drop the 100 something bucks for a new pipe? Time is of the essence here since my tag is out of date and I need to pass emissions.

All help is much appreciated.

For those that might have read my other posts about my V70xc alternnator woes, I will update those tommorow.

Thanks
