Default Flowmaster merge question

Will a flowmaster merge fit right up to a tsp y pipe without fabbing new pipes for the transition? Going into an fbody but no locals have mandrels for bends. Thanks.

Looks great. Did you have to fab extra pipes to get the right curve for it to enter the merge? Hard to tell but i dont see any weld lines. Thanks.

Here is a better picture. My brother is a welder so I was just drinking beer and watching while he worked lol.
But ya, cut the original merger off at it's straightest point then you can see the spacers cut at slight angles as needed. In the picture it is not 100% welded, just tached in that picture.
Right after the merger I also have it running right into a 4in. electric cutout. My 4in. cutout is a Evil Energy.
