Ok I'm unclear on your situation. Right now you have stock manifolds installed, stock H-pipe installed and magnapack mufflers I take it? Do you have a complete magnaflow stainless pipe from the factory catted H-pipe back? Is that what's welded or are the mufflers just welded in place of the stock ones?

If you have a complete cat-back and it's welded to your factory h-pipe.. well then you have some issues to work out and some cutting to do and I wouldn't expect anything to bolt up nice after (you'll probably need to have someone weld it up for you).

If you have just magnapacks welded in the place of the stock muffler cans, you'll be able to unbolt and drop the H and the manifolds and replace just those. Obviously with longtubes you're going to need to use a short H or X pipe.. and I believe anything with matching flanges for the headers will work ok but I haven't explored that part of my car yet so I may be incorrect.

no i have a upr o/r X with a magnapack catback system...stock manifolds, i wanted to know which midpipes would fit in between the headers and catback without having to adjust the catback because the overaxle tubes are welded. thats what i meant
