Your best bet is going to be to take a new set of exhaust port gaskets and take them to a welding fabrication shop that has either a flame cutter or plasma cutter. They can cut near perfect flanges using the gaskets as patterns and you can pick up the mandrell bends from your local speed shop or muffler shop. You may find some junk boxes cheap but getting the aluminum heatsinks off is a world class PIA and the pipes inside probably won't have the strenth you need to support a system.
