Default Fountain Fever 29 twin 454 bravo CMI 500 efi header fitment advice needed!

I am looking to fit up the CMI 500efi flat flange headers with diverters I just purchased and the alignment on my 29 fever with twin 454 bravos is off slightly to hit the transom at the correct angle, and side to side position.

We have a couple of options, but I really do not want to offset the thru hulls or cut the transom at all.

I am going to try some HT silicone hose as a trial to get some play, but if anyone had any suggestions or has hinge this route already it would be greatly appreciated!

CMI makes angle wedge rings at different degrees. Call them & talk to David Rank

I've used the silicone "hump" hoses before with good success for that issue.

Update: the silicone hump hoses will work just fine, thanks for the input Lil red! $36 from a local hose manufacture, distributor Sirco in Erie, PA. Found them online $70 shipped.
