Take it to an exhaust shop. have them bend and fit the piece out of regular

not cost too much.

That's basically what I did last time, and it cost me about $1000 (SS pipe, of
course!) The exhaust is still fine 10 yrs later, but the new engine has a
different attachment (hose-clamp vs screw threads) and may need larger diameter.
