Drilling holes for the slits isn't a bad idea.
Heres my passenger side pipe after all the work:
I left enough of the collar so the clamp would fit without overlapping the weld or hanging off the edge of the cut collar.
Its been like this for about 2k miles now and hasn't changed its position. As you noted, after cutting this much off the collar it is essential that you elongate the slits so the clamp can still do its job. Good luck!
