Default Best way to bend exhaust pipe to get it to fit

My new (secondhand exhaust does not quite fit and I think it needs to be bent a bit to solve the problem. Any tips on the best way to bend a pipe like that. I think I will need to bend it a bit to get the pip coming up a tad more and then bend the last section to ensure the flanges are kept parallel.

Do you think that this is a difficult job? Any tips. Should I go to a professional?

Thanks in advance

can try to use a oxy/acetylene torch although this might ...
1. collapse tube as wall thickness is thin
2. when bending it might make it more oval when finished so you would have to be careful when bending...

could try taking it to say powerflow exhausts as they custom make them,so they have hydraulic bending equipment i'd assume.

another thought is is going to restrict it anymore by bending. if you do mange to bend it with no problems i'd polish it inside just to make sure.
