Default Help/suggestions with air tube connection on cat

There has got to be a better way to connect the two together than using the large rubber tube supplied. Can the tube on the cat be flared to hold a female connection?

Ok, I guess no one uses a cat converter with an air tube. Should I just cap off the connection on the heater/air control valve?

Just a thought - seems like most hookups I've seen like that (OEM) do have
some flexible type hose somewhere to allow the exhaust to move around
on the mounts a little as it is prone to do. Might not a totally rigid connection
give problems with that movement?
