In Calgary, we just go to an exhaust shop, probably the Minute Muffler on 17th and 52nd SE, and get them to run a custom exhaust system and it usually costs under $1000 for 3" aluminized.  That should be tons for a 3B, even turbo'd.

You should come to your local RMLCA meetings.  I think Peter has a set of parabolic leafs for a 60 series, for sale.
