  The factory downpipe chokes down to about 1.5 inches at about the middle.
The only bolt on replacement I know of is available in Europe and cost about
$200 a couple of years ago.  Jake bought one and proceeded to modify it
quite a bit!  The only way he could get it at that time was to have a friend
buy and ship or bring it over.
  I made a few flanges with a couple bucks worth of scrap 3/8 steel (about
4 X 12), a drill pres, two bits and a cheapie flycutter.  The cutter part
really
sucked as it's a reverse rake, gets hot and takes forever.  I'm tempted to
use a torch and carbide rasp on the air grinder for the next center hole.
