Okay,
The inside diameter of the pipe is 1 7/8, the inside of the flange itself is
2 1/2 and the inside of the outlet pipe is 2 inches. You should be fine if
you can find a header flange gasket that's 2 1/2 inside.
It helps to make sure both mating surfaces are flat. The nice thing about
the flex section is that it allows you to get a good tight seal at the
flanges, mount the bulk of the exhaust system pretty solidly and still
allows the motor/exhaust header to move a bit and not put a lot of
mechanical stress on the header.
HTH,
Ron
