just go a custom exhaust place, then be able to give a bit of pipe that will slot over both side's to clamp down

small bit of pipe from a custom exhaust place will do it. it should cost you under a tenner.

please tell me if this is a stupid idea but couldnt you bend the pipe with the slits in, in a bit and then slide the other over then weld it.
