Hi Slither, I can help you when it comes to making exhausts, before we go this road I ask are you looking to do this for custom needs and are you good with your hands as an exhaust ring can be tricky.
I make my own threaded collars, brass ferals for this purpose but you can buy threaded collars to suit any saito, look on Horizon Hobby to get a part number and google from there for a local source , all exhaust threads on a saito are 1mm pitch so only the diameters change, 12x1 , 13x1, 14x1 would likely be the size, id do away with that 90 degree elbow right out of the cylinder too.
Alternatively destroy a set of those horrible flex pipes that come with the radial and you've got the feral and collar arrangement there already.
