Help... need shop suggestion

Got a minor bent on a after market header flange (where it connects to the up-pipe). It's causing exhaust leak (according to Ryan from Vakamon) and I wonder which shop on the island I can take to machine it back to normal.

Thanks in advance!!

ESH...ah ha ha ha!

Shouldn't any good machine shop be able to straighten it out? Can't Ryan just do it?

I guess I could do it on a belt sander. Would not be perfect, but might work good enough. Don't know why I didn't think of that the first time. Or any machine shop.

Ryan, you couldn't think of it caz my car was pissing you off.

Well, I guess any machine shop can do it then... but anyone you guys trust or recommend?

Roy, yea yea... I did put'em for one night... haha before swapping it out again. I paid a lot more than I expected at Vakamon that time for the install... wallet still hurting.

Just any machine shop dude...it shouldn't be too much of a deal because they're just machining the thing flat.
