Okay, I'm convinced. Now all I need is someone with the ability to cut out that section and replace it at exactly the right angle so the two pipes line up. Very short run to work with, about 30 inches. Right now there is just one 1/8th bend used and it misses lining up both laterally and vertically. Perhaps adding another 1/8th would enable the pipes to meet but that kind of precision is beyond me.
