Surely there isn't anything that special about that exhaust pipe? No idea of the diameter but I'd imagine any exhaust place could cut and bend something similar to shape and then couple onto the existing.

It's a very simple system as far as I can tell.  Only special bits are the heat exchanger/expansion chamber assembly and maaaaaaaaybe the silencer - no idea if it's constructed any differently to the one on a "normal" system.

The front to rear pipe is split here - I'm assuming for ease of shipping.

I've struggled a bit before to find anywhere here locally that would touch exhaust stuff if they couldn't just buy new stuff themselves off the shelf unless we were talking building a whole new system in stainless for £££. That's exactly why both the Lada and Merc S123 left me with slightly blowing exhausts.

Biggest challenge I'd likely run into if getting a system made would be finding anywhere that stocks small enough tubing.  Standard system is 38mm, the normal upgrade is 45mm apparently.
