You are correct, the two pipes are different lengths - as are the Porsche originals when you remove tham and look at them side by side.....

When I fitted the test pipes, the gap between the 2 flanges was quite small say 5 - 10mm (1/4 - 1/2") which pulled up easily. I guess if I had pulled and pushed the pipes out of the muffler entry by hand, I could have possibly closed the gap - as it was I was tired and just used the 3 bolts to slowly pull the flanges together.
I rechecked the bolt / head stud tenioning last month after 3,000km and there ware no signs of leaks, cracking or metal fatigue that I could see.
