What is the best lubricant to use when putting an exhaust system together? Did try the sealant as it said lubricant but hasn't helped!

No lubricant needed. Make sure you use exhaust sealant though.

exhaust sealant is a lubricant until it goes off. what I find does help is if to run a grit flap wheel in a drill down the ends of the pipes to clean them of any welds, burs etc and make them slide together easier.

It's always best to trial fit off the car first, to check the fitment. Lubricant shouldn't really be needed to get them to fit. Check the inside of the outer part of the join, if it's a mild steel exhaust the likelyhood will be the pip on the inside of the pipe causing it to be a tight fit, or slightly oval. If there is a pip, just remove it at the join.
