He means your going to have to have the flange rewelded on or get a high flow cat put in it's place.

he means when you have to take it to a muffler shop so they can cut and rotate the pipe so the cat lines up with your header.

Shouldn't be more than 20 bucks if it's just welding. Might cost more if they try to sell you another flange or something.
