4" backbox with straight-through centre section to cat/manifold and you're onto a winner !!
I'd not weld it as will be a bitch taking it on and off in the future. I'd just buy one that fits properly together! Will minimise the work you have to put into it, if you bodge a join it'll always leak etc.

go for a supersprint centre section with 4" backbox, or a Piper cat back stainless system.

the pipe for my saxo in diamter is 13.5cm all the way round and 4.5cm if u measure the width of the whole. so what u reckon a pipe reducer?
pipe reducer will have to be 5cm>4cm si it fits easy
