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.
