Default 4" Exhaust pipe... Where can I find 180 degree u bends?

After reading Wrenchers post about his custom side pipes, I started looking for 4" u bends. Jegs or Summit don't seem to carry them. Both places refered me to Holly's P/N 12310, which is a 4" u bend, but the "legs" are only about 6". I'm thinking I need something a little long than 6". Any ideas? :confused:

Walker exhaust (it's nationaly available - a Bendix subsidiary, I believe) has the ones I bought. NAPA, or certainly the local muffler shop ought to be able to order them. If you want a part number, I can get it tomorrow.

I am going to copy Corvetteforum member Wrenchers sidepipe design. He has some pictures linked in this thread... http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=785463
I am going to use 2.5" glasspacks.

I think JC whitney sells pre-bend 4". I bought mine at a 18 wheeler supply house.
