I understand your frustration but I assure you that will seal up without any issues at all. The bolts will torque that flange flat with minimal effort and way below the necessary torque specs. By the time its torqued to the specified amount it will be ruler flat. The engine flanges are the ones you should be most concerned with.

For what its worth, my first flanges were WAY worse than that and I still got it to seal up. I obviously wanted a straight one just for the longevity of the part but it has performed fantastic while waiting for my replacement. I bet 30 minutes after installing it your thoughts of returning it will only be a memory. The improved torque dip and the boxer growl are awesome.
