How to fit pre-2017 axle back to 2017+

I'm sure someone has already tried this.

Is it an easy modification? Can't seem to find a video on how to do it.

Sure, just find someone with MY13-16 car who's selling their stock exhaust. Or cut off your existing flange from the midpipe and weld a MY13-16 flange into your existing midpipe...

Just need to widen the holes in the flange a bit. Several people have done it without issue.

I did this. I had an axleback that showed up and was 2017+ It wasn't worth sending back. Widened the holes and used some hi temp gasket maker. It's still there.
