My header flanges at the x-over tube are oblong. I assume it's from being heat cycled over the years. What's the best way to get these ball socket flanges round again. I want to run a replacement x-over but can't until I get these things round again.

Thanks in advance,
 
Hey Jeff mine were slightly oblong as well. I installed an atr crossover without straightening them out. They conformed to the flange no problem. no leaks. if they are not too bad i wouldnt worry about it.
 
Thanks Bird. I would do that but mine are pretty out of round. Not just a little bit. I am thinking of taking them to an exhaust shop. Maybe they can heat them up and bump them with a tube expander.

Thanks,
