Before you remove your slip pipes, drill two small holes in two of the tubes. Then you can remove the headers and side pipes, put them together, using the small holes to aline. Mark you cut lines onto the pipes. Cut (Porto-band saw) thru all of the tubes. If you cut the pipe a little crooked you can grind it or hide it in the flanges. Slip your flanges onto the pipes and bolt together. Square (framing square or small speed square) the flanges with the pipes. Tack weld, one small spot on each tube, maybe two. Check everything. You could install the header with two bolts into the head. Test fit the side pipe. Then remove everything and finish the welding. If you use MiG then preheat pipes to 400 degrees. The best for exhaust pipe is Tig weld. So I have been told.
