Problem with Cad Converter Emissions tube

While me and my dad we're doing my motorswap,we completely forgot about that oddly shaped emissions tube. After the motor was in, we did all the general things to make it as perfect as possible.We worried about exhaust last. We found the tube and tried and tried and obviously theres really no way to get the tube back in there. The only solution we can think of is cutting the tube in One of the spots where it cant fit and run silicon tubing. It'd be much easier,and its heat resistant. Anyone think of any other ideas?

Forgot to mention i have headers. So if anyone comes up with any ideas, it has to have a high temperature rating.

Silicone tubing is the answer. I got a length of it from the parts department of a Navistar truck dealer. I think they use that stuff for oil lines on the turbo.

The other option is to just plug it, assuming you don't have a working AIR system anymore anyway.
