I think you clould wled that up preety nice with a mig welder, and take your time with it, with the amperage turned quite a ways down, just to prevent burnthrough. Burnthroughs tend to happen alot on exhausts if your not careful.
Just weld the back side of it with really small bead running the circumference of outside of the seal.
Thatd be my best guess to fixing it....

my friend had the same problem....he welded it and the beed snapped.... then he got a new header and that seal broke again lol
try putting on an exh dounut from a muffler shop. those are desigend to wear so it might stop your breakage problem. looks like the pipe might not be bent on the right angle and it is putting pressure unevenly on the dounut.

its the stock cylinder heads. bord to 701cc and wider domes.
Engine mods on it now are: The big bore,bigger ports,vforce2 reeds, aaen single pipe.
sled has some really nice power but im thinking that i should go twin pipes this summer.
GYT twin would work nice but if your gonna buy them brand new just go with aaen or psi.
only went up one size in the main jets.
here are some photos of the whole sled.
