Default Need 3" mandrel bent exhaust system source

I have looked throughout the Houston area, and have not been able to find anyone that can make a 3" mandrel bent exhaust sysytem for my 67. Several leads have been followed from suggestions, but all have turned up bad. Does anyone know of someone that can do this, in a reasonable drivivg distance from Houston? Any help would be appreciated.

buy the pipes from JEGS summit or JC Whitney and have your shop piece it together.

No luck with Tony I guess. Zwede has a friend in Plano that will do it.

I got mine from Walker through the local muffler shop. It was no big deal.
