are you going to be doing the work yourself?

if you have a press..you can just sandwhich the pipe in between two 2x4's and slowly work it to an oval.

thats what i did for my side exhaust.

to make bends..i cut the pipe in my chop saw at 22 degree angles and welded them together.

If youre going to do the DIY route, I would try and use the press on some U bends rather than welding up angles. I had some 30º angles that caused a ton of rasp until i replaced them with smooth bends.

Spintech sells oval tubing as well. Not sure how it compares to the Dr. Gas stuff though.
