Assuming that you are somewhat handy and have a drill and a way to cut the tube to length this should be minimal effort and cost and fully reversible.

Here is a quick scaled drawing that I did up. Red would be exhaust, blue would be the ss shim pipe, and the tip is not shown.

I would use something like the parts below. just make sure that you buy the right tap for the fastener. I'd also recommend the finest threads that you can get for the best engagement in the thin walled material. Maybe put a dab of blue lock tight too? or a somewhat heat resistant lock tight.
