That being said, I dunno if they actually sold a midpipe and header to any actual Yaris TS owners.

The slip joint isn't really needed honestly, but not really hurting anything either, I just like a sealed exhaust pipe.

In regards to the rear flange they told me most people are just using high temp silicone, which worries me. They are sending me a regular gasket that is supposed to work, so I will keep you all updated on that.

The flat gasket will work, you will just have to grind the flange on the muffler side flat, where originally the "half donut" gasket would fit. The should be a protrusion on the flange that holds the original style gasket in place. Or, I may be wrong in thinking the ball is on the muffler side, if it originally was on the mid pipe side, then just use the gasket. I wouldn't use silicone.

If you don't like the slip joint, just put some tack welds on it once you get everything fitted and clamped, pull it down and weld it up.

As for sliding the header on once the cross member and engine are in place, sounds like for others planning on doing this, it would be better to install the header onto the engine prior to installing the engine in the car.
