Cool

I would cut the pipe as it comes out of the can, leaving a few inches to play with, cut 2 small cuts about 2-3 mm wide at 9 o'clock & 3 o'clock on it, then get a pipe that fits snugly inside that pipe, and use an exhaust clamp to clamp it all up lovely. I am sure stainless needs to be tigged, so this option is quick, and cheap as chips. If you want, car builder solutions do a stepped reducer, so you can attach the can to a bigger or a smaller pipe. I would use mild steel pipe & get a pipe bender from a tool hire shop to make your system suit the car. Don't forget to weld brackets on. You can get brackets for cans from motor world e.t.c and they wrap around the can, pinch up with a bolt, and have a bracket attached. Hope this helps !
