Test Pipe slip on fitment (with Challenge Street pipe)

I posted in exhaust section but can you guys in here help? I tried searching, but didn't find any answers. I guess I just have to measure the xpipe diameter and the clamps to see if they fit.

I bought a Challenge Street pipe from another member and he had the primaries welded into place. Recently I've wanted to go the test pipe route. I know these are sold with a clamp. Just wondering if I would be able to just cut and clamp as you do with an oem xpipe. Not sure if the piping diameter are the same since I wasn't able to transfer the O-ring brackets that bolt up to the exhaust supports alongside the bottom of the car.

Thoughts? Or do I just screw it and weld them on?
