Go to a different shop.
A professional exhaust shop should actually carry inventory, and know what they need to do to correct your situation. They could cut 2" past the flange, then weld on a connection. Or, they could simply source the right part. Exhaust parts are not a mystery. It is just a pipe. A shop should have a distributor that they can call, give them size and fitting requirements, and have one delivered within an hour by a parts runner.
Even Summit Racing can ship you any kind of pipe that you want, in whichever size diameter, and often with the correct flanges and fittings.
