Have you thought about a nice set of headers? I know they can cost $350 more or less. Or perhaps cut out a 1/4" flange, cut in two, and weld it back together on the pipe. This would be somewhat like the flanges that come on headers.

what headers would you recommend? id prefer to do it on the cheap

Check Vance & Hines, also just spend some time shopping the internet. There are several manufacturers out there. Also try E-Bay for used exhaust systems and / or headers.
A small piece of 1/4" plate and a little time with a drill, file and a grinder or Dremal tool would be the cheapest. You may need to hire someone to weld it up, shouldn't cost much. Check around someone you know may be able to weld up the part for you. You may also need to find a couple of bolts to mount your new flange with.
