That's not the right pipe though.
The pipe in the picture is the over-the-axle pipe. It is not the intermediate pipe.
I've been looking for an SLP o-t-a pipe as well, there are none around that I can find.
The closest I found for me was a Dynomax / Walker 3" mandrel bent aluminized O-T-A pipe, but it's not designed for a center entry muffler (which is what I want), it's designed for an offset entry muffler. I think I can make it work, but it's a kludge (and not stainless steel).

The factory intermediate pipe is one piece.
The SLP replacement part is not. Look at that picture that Dave linked to. It will not go over the axle. That is the intermediate pipe. They used to sell the o-t-a pipe, but they don't any more (that I can find).
The SLP part above hooks to the Y-pipe at the front (where it necks down), and then it ends right before the axle (the bend in that pipe). The over-the-axle pipe starts right there (after that one kicks "up"), and then goes over the upper panhard and in to the muffler.

The axle-bend on the aftermarket exhausts is crushed, all
of them are like that, I guess that's the only way they
could get the radius in stainless. It is not significant to
flow, it's biased to the outside anyway centrifugally,
fuggedaboudit. Though I don't think mine looked quite
the same (CME, '02) I would leave it be, it's a very small
restriction in the big scheme of things. If you want to
get crazy, weld on a stud, get the O/A torch out and
hot-pull it flat (someplace well away from the plastic
gas tank....).
