Default Any mandrel bent 3" exhaust kits available?

I've looked in every catalog and website that I can think of but I don't see any mandrel bent 3" exhaust systems available. Am I missing something or are you guys that are running 3" systems all using custom fabrication? Looking for one for my '70 BB in stainless. I can find all of the individual components just no pre-bent systems.

Thanks.

One problem is that it won't fit through the crossmember, you'd need a custom crossmember.

I have a 3" system, and the pipes do fit (barely) through the crossmember. There are no pre-bent 3" systems for C3 Vettes, mandrel or otherwise, but a good exhaust shop can custom you one. Mine as well as others I know of are all custom made.

3" with Magnaflows...
