Pretty cheap, they are assorted but I'm sure you can make them work without issue.

All they have in 5in right now is stainless but new stuff seems to pop up every few days. I just looked Saturday and there is different items on there now already.

Might try a 5" turbo back kit for a dodge 2500 and piece what you need together, they can be picked up for around 200 or so

Would it be cheaper or feasible to use 2 90*'s to make your 180* turn?
