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

Cheers mate
Today removed single wiper conversion as i got sick of it . been trying to sort out little ningles with the car today such as
washer jets keep falling out. ordered new ones that fit on wiper blades
bonnet doesnt lock down as the popper isnt high engough. need to replace the hinges so it will lock as currently pins are doing all the work- hinges i missed delivery so theyre waiting at post office
Bonnet flew up a few days ago and cracked a bit of the side. this needs glueing back on
rear interior pannel keeps falling off so need to replace pins for this
tyre could do with changing. However im buying some alloys now anyway 
i ALso fit the exhaust in a hurry and didnt secure it properly. went on a 80 mile trip and 2 miles from home it dropped off -.-. so that needs refitting asap for now my peco's back on
Juast little cheap niggles that are annoying me tbh
In other news i removed the chevrons and fitted a alarm
