Fabricating my own axleback

[Curtis_J]

I want a set of short tails, but I don't want to spend $650. The e-bay alternatives have the tips stuck out way too far for my liking, and they'd still cost nearly $500 by the time I had them in my hands. I have a friend who does some fabricating and he thinks we can make up a system pretty easily. Going to buy a couple of stainless UJ bends, flanges and gaskets from a local auto parts store. But I'm stuck on what to do about tips. Can anyone make a suggestion as to where to buy a couple of exhaust tips that are decent quality but still reasonably priced? Preferably weld on, polished stainless with 2.5" inlet and 4-5" outlet. Thanks.
