I typically shorten the pipes and weld reducers on when installing an X pipe to ensure a better connection?

Subject: [PacNW928] Xpipe mod - flared ends
Howdy all, considering a wild hair (hare?) improvement the connection from the Xpipes to the cat back section by either heating with OA and flaring the pipes and eliminate the band clamps that are unsightly and seal half ass. ?Alternatively I could weld on two donor ends as well and flare out the Xpipe ends. ?I MiG welded the rear connection already to my high flow cats and eliminated the rear pair of clamps. ?
I think the doughnut seals (928.111.246.05) and associated Dansk style clamp (928.111.427.00) would make for a quicker and more solid connection and look more Porsche. ?Dumb idea? Brilliant??
I have an annoying exhaust leak which is minor to fix but can hear it.
Cheers,
Stefan
