Yep, JustAnIllusion is selling new bends here:

I bought several pieces from him and he's a quick and honest seller. I also bought several pieces from JC Whitney. Jegs and Summit also sells what you are looking for.

My local muffler shop here makes mandrel bends. They make custom exhaust from headers all the way to the back. And yes they carry stainless steel pipes. Other alternative is online. I know summit carries mandrel bent pipes. You might also try JEGS.
