Sorry, I didn't read your post correctly. I was thinking left side of the car vs. right side of the car (not left photo vs. right photo). If you would be satisfied with just having both sides the same distance from the body, you may be able to accomplish that with the the spacers I mentioned depending on how far the closer pipe needs to be moved away from the body. The spacers can be made a uniform thickness just to move the pipe farther from the body or the spacer can be made tapered to raise, lower or change parallelism.
Also, I just got done welding new mufflers into my sidepipes, and I can tell you that Old Dog is correct. The ceramic coating has to be ground off where the welds will be made. This may not be important because if you do as you've proposed, the welds probably won't be visible anyway and you can just do a touch up with a spray can.
