I cut the seam in two places with the sawzall, also cut a chunk out of the heat shield there to get to the seam easier. Then bent it up as much as I could. Don't seem to have any vibration or clearance issues at all.

It spools a bit quicker, little bit better acceleration. Turbo is a bit louder. Has a little deeper throatier sound to it now. I'm still working on the rest of my exhaust as I don't really have any at the moment cause I sold my stacks.
Got a friend helping me make a dual exhaust for it. Should turn out pretty cool. Straight piped of course!!!
