Default need help with exhaust pipe fab, need to get from 4.5 to 4in

i cant find any one in my area that will expand 4in pipe or can get an adapter to go between 4 and 4.5. this is really starting to frustrate me. i have a couple of ideas but i wanted to see what you all could come up with.

thanks

you could cut notches in the end and press it down to make your own reducer.

take a piece of 4" pipe to a muffler shop and have them flare one end to 4.5". That is the cheap and easy route.

no shops can flare 4", were i am it seams like the larger you go the less common haf sizes are. but i an going to try the hooker collector and if that fails i will make a cone.
