Default external wategate plumbing

So i just so happened to have some 1.5" exhaust tubing (mandrel) around the shop.
I've ordered 38mm flanges and flex tubes...
Can you get 1.5" exhaust couplers? Having trouble finding them - basically if I want to join two 1.5" pipes.. I can butt weld, but it's not as strong or as easy.

You can get 1.5" couplers, any auto parts store should carry them.

EGTs can reach over 1400 degrees... I don't think silicone is going to cut it.
How do you guys typically flange this in with main exhaust? I'd like to be able to pull it out.. Any photos?
