Exhaust help

Hey guys so I am running my 71 dart swinger small block 727 tranny. I have Doug's long tube headers and want to run 2 1/2 exhaust. Well I encountered the cross member problem with the exhaust hitting it. So i tried doing this myself . Go easy on me guys and as for my welding it's been a bit . Does anyone make the piece that connects to the headers that go to the mufflers like almost the same as what I made? I wanted to try doing this myself but after I tacked these pieces together I found that the exhaust is really low clearance wise. Anyone got pictures of how low there's is sitting and also how they did they're exhaust coming off the headers? Also I plan on dumping at rear axles
