Tips n tricks for exhaust install

I'm starting to wonder if it's worth me wrestling and cursing at.
I had a close shop about 20 min from me quote $90/hr, which is VERY reasonable.
That being said what would that equate to total tab?? $400? It would be fully welded.

OR I invest in a few lapjoint band clamps, Amazon $60. I have a mig welder.(didn't say I can weld lol :rolleyes: )
The biggest concern I have(so far) is the pass side pipe that connects immediately after the tti head pipe. It goes way off and over onto drivers side. I haven't messed with it a lot but will before I decide whatnot do.
See pics below of pass side pipe in question.
1st pic, then the following pics show how it connects to next pipe and everything looks "straight/correct" with those 2 pipes?
Thanks
Steve
