Everything else is stock exhaust wise.
I was thinking of trying a exhaust sealer like the one below. Any advice from anyone would be appreciaTed.

If I'm reading you right, I don't believe the slotted holes (if they are in the flange) are supposed to seal the exhaust.
Yep, like mentioned, a muffler shop can most likely put those pieces together so they don't leak. Most of the time, when a car is up on a rack, working on the exhaust is more successful.
Yes, you could try to goop it up with muffler seal.
