Your best bet is to have a shop custom bend you one
with 3", or do a 2.5" mandrel system.  Have them order
a high flow 3" cat and just use a couple of strait
through ~15" long glass pack mufflers.  Prices can
vary between $400 - $1000 dollars depending on the #
of mandrell bends and types of mufflers used.  You can
do it all with a normal bender, but the area going
over the axle and the sharp bend to the rear muffler
should be mandrel I think.  I'm going to have mine
re-done some day.  Don't get a Stebro, they are not
really performance exhausts, just nice stainless stock
replacements IMHO.
