2.0L headers and exhaust set up question Options

[Tdskip]

Hi folks – hope everybody had a decent weekend. I have a set of very end very nicely made headers that I ordered for Marty for my big Type4 build. I didn’t realize in this is completely my responsibility end that they would come with a center exhaust collector because I had planned to use them with a 911 muffler. So I either need a different before design or to make some sort of connectors.

Has anyone been down this path that could weigh in on suggestions and any clever ideas that they’ve used or seen?

Again I want to stress that these are very nicely made and I’ve had nothing but a good experience with Marty on other things I’ve ordered with him. I didn’t sweat the details and what I received is in no way shape or form less than an excellent product.

Thanks!

Muffler is stainless btw. In this picture you can see that the flange junction is oh so close to being right, despite the header and muffler not being made for each other. But close, might as well be a mile off I guess. I was thinking of cutting off the flange end of the muffler (cut it back close to the muffler body and weld on another flange). Then add a braided style flexible stainless intermediary piece:
