Take yours use a cut off wheel cut a door opening in it like 3" wide chop out the cat, its a bitch to get out, weld it back together or have it welded maybe take 1 hour to do . no need to cut the pipe in half .

When i was doing these i made a jig to make sure pipe would stay factory length.

Amen, I did one and used a drill with a side cut drill bit and dremal tool. After that, I just purchased them from Wild Pig ... LOL ... well worth the $100. And I have a few stock ones to send as a core.

If you are talking about where the header makes a left turn to connect to the crossover...have you tried loosening the bolt that holds the crossover in place against the trans? If it is only 1/4" off, you can then use a washer as a spacer (if needed) on the crossover bracket, and your left slip-on has plenty of play, forward & backward, so that is a non-issue.

If I am understanding wrong, post up a photo of where you are having a fitment challenge.
