problem with dp/catback flange

So i have the CTI header and 3" DP with a 2.5 exit to connect to my 2.5 custom magnaflow. The exhaust shop used my stock 2.5 flange for the catback, but for some reason, they have replaced the gasket between the dp and catback flange twice and its still leaking... Its like the flanges wont bolt up together right.. Is there anything i can do to fix this im tired of hearing the leak right under me

the flanges are more than likely warped or slightly different styles that look similar

you can buy a 3 bolt or v-band flange and have any shop weld it on

That is exactly what I had to do because I kept eating up that gasket.
