Need help with a catted front-pipe

Mine isn't working with my new cat-back so I will need to replace it. The flange is warped so the gasket won't seal.

Pros/Cons? Thanks in advance!

What do you have?
When you say warped? The oem style flange uses a doughnut gasket.

I have a Tusdo FP and CB, which are both 2.5". In this case, you can't really say a pipe is a pipe.

Yeah, the flange that the donut gasket goes around is not a perfect circle. It was a custom fa20club pipe but I talked to toni there and he is willing to replace it. Pretty cool since I bought back in June. I will likely wait on that. Just want something that is going to work!

Picture? With some force, the gasket kind of conforms to the shape. Mine had a bump from the welds, not an issue.
