Where are the 3" Cat Back Exhausts?

I have been looking for a 3" Cat Back Exhaust for a couple of days now and all I have found is Flowmaster. I have an adjustable Borla catback that came on my Z28 when I bought it but I hate the Dual Rectangle tips on it. I would appreciate any exhaust advice. BTW, I am looking @ buying a Magnaflow. I would like it to be 3" inlet and outlet.

Option 1: Change the tips. The Borla is a nice catback.
Option 2: Go with a new catback.

here is a pic of the exhaust, the tips are at a weird angle so I dont know if I could weld new tips on. I am thinking about GMMG or possibly a custom cat back. I have Mid Length headers as well as an aftermarket y-pipe w/ high flow cats. I do not know the brand for the items because I didnt buy any of them. I am almost positive that the headers are MAC and so is the y-pipe.

i think hooker is 3" from the I pipe to muffler, but 2.5" for the muffler exits. Whatever, you'd never notice the difference (hp wise) if they were 3 inches, other than looks.

Why dont you get a hooker and some 3" tips?
