Well first off, it wasnt a waste.. I just didnt like how long it hung and I decided in hindsight it was better to go with 2.25" piping. The build quality/welds are excellent.
As for where, well Vancouver shop sare lame they dont care about custom stuff. I went to a shop in Vernon that I have been going for years, they do deisel stuff up to 6" in diameter are area really good at custom stuff. I paid $270 taxes in for aluminized stainless cat back all the way to my $220 magnaflow muffler. That also included a huge resonator that IIRC is welded in, could be u-bolted as I asked for that.. Also, its not true mandrel, it still has a small crush in it because 2.5" is hard to make a smooth bend, but it looks way better and smoother then crush bend.
This time around I got a buddy who has a digital pipe bender and he is doing it for a good price, 2.25" for sure as I need a smaller diameter to quite it down and also to fit the honda muffler im using.
