Hi
Is it possible to stretch the internal diameter on an akrapovic mid pipe(06/07) to fit the slightly larger diameter header from a 2008 model?

Stretching the pipe diameter could oversize the collar, once it's too big you can't reduce it or damage it trying. It might be better to cut off the collar and weld the correct size on?

What miket said.
A good shop will have a pipe expanding machine that can evenly stretch the collar to fit, assuming the material is steel or aluminum and the change isn't too great. I wouldn't recommend trying it yourself.
