Flexible Oil Dip Stick Tube?

Hello. Hope this is the correct section. I was wondering if anyone has heard or has a flexible dipstick tube for the 5th gen SS.

I did headers on it, and forgot to out the stick in first, before bolting that side on.
Long story short, I mangled the OE tube and do not want to try it again. I'd rather chew on glass and may just the car ablaze if I have to try that again.

Thanks in advance.

I think you need to take it to a shop or get out your matches.

The dipstick is easier to get in with two people, but it can be done with one. It's easier if you remove the starter and the dipstick should be out when you go to put it in.

Yea, I'll try that. I got a buddy that works at a shop.
