use a jack to help seal those flanges.just guide the flanges together then use a jack to snug them together then bolt them in. don't jack up on them too much, just enough for a tight fit. i have sealed stock and off road pipes this way and never had problems after.

It's NOT illegal. It's just frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.

also, if you get some copper sensor safe hi-temp sealant and glob it on the flange and then bolt it up and let it dry for like 45 min that helps alot too
