Im going to pull it and straighten it out, I ordered a 2" to 2 1/5” lap joint clamp and will high temp silicone the joint before clamping it.
Probably unnecessary but this would always bug me.

Yeah unfortunately that's what U bolt clamps do. Those pipes are crimped together now, you'll have a hell of a time getting those apart without cutting anything. It might leak but otherwise it should be fine, most H pipes have a smaller diameter crossover anyway.

Got the tune file today. No leaks and sounds pretty good to me wide open with no mufflers so i think ill be happy with the steeda branded stingers which by the way are 4 weeks out untill shipment ... Oh well, im not driving it for a few months.

On to the next project... Suspension.

Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions!

Been awhile..... just got the steeda axlebacks a couple weeks ago and got them installed yesterday.
Heres a comparison of muffler delete axlebacks and the steeda (borla stinger) axlebacks

No drone noticed at all. They are very deep but a little tame.... Im hoping they get a little louder once broke in but very happy with them so far. I kinda miss no mufflers but it was obnoxious on cold starts and sure the neighborhood hated me ;D
Last week with no mufflers I started my car at work to leave and about gave a guy a heart attack who was walking behind my car lol.
