Default You have got to be kidding

So I finally get the new tips I have wanted to replace the crappy doubles that came with my hooker cat back and get home to find that the pipe isn't straight. Apparently the people at hooker decided to have the pipe coming out of the right side of the muffler bent twice. Once at almost 90 degrees immediately after exiting and again very slightly right before the tip. So my question is do I heat the pipe and bend it that tiny bit, buy a new 90 degree piece and try to get it on, or other(please specify)? I don't know if I can get the pipe back out but on the plus side the muffler is bolted on using a flange rather than being welded so I can get it back off easily. Also the tips I got are nearly 2 feet long like the magnaflow tips and the second bend would be cut off anyway.

The top circle is designating the original bend and the bottom is the slight bend right before the end. Also this would be a top view, the right side is the passenger side.
