Magnum exhaust manifolds ball-flange to LA pipes?

Thanks for the info, I may try the peen method, from flat to bell against the manifold end, and go easy and little at a time, right, cast iron, right? If I can't come up with what I need, I'll get back, may be money ahead getting those from you. Thanks.

But can beat on it pretty hard against the magnum manifold (it's extremely stout). Just be sure to keep rotating the pipe and keeping it perfectly aligned so that the bell fits perfectly against the manifold or you'll get a leak. The correct flange adapter also helps get a good seal. I've removed many of the factory bell flared pipes at the scrap yard and I can tell you that the pipe becomes physically attached to the manifold (perfect fit) after a period of time to the point that you have smack real hard with a big hammer to get it to come loose even after you've removed the flange adapter. Good Luck and let me know if you need one of the last few that I have. Remember....you'll have to buy a piece of pipe then pay to get it flat flared.
I always mount the manifold in a big vice to get a good solid surface to hammer against.
