Default 3" SS side pipe tips?

Anyone know where to find a 3" SS side pipe tip
that looks exactly like the factory side pipe tip?
The guy at the muffler shop says "no problem"
but would like to supply my own... :blueangel:
Its gonna be 3" off the header, then 3 1/2" then back down to 3".
Thanks!

You can buy a 3" SS mandrel bent "U" bend (6" bend radius) for less than $30.00. Should be able to cut two exhaust tips from one piece. I built an entire 2.5" exhaust system from this type of tubing because I could not find anyone who could mandrel bend the pipes.

Looks like Burnsstainless has 16g 3" od U's for $85.00
14g would be nice, but may have to go with 16g.

Thanks for the links!
