Default copying exhaust

I was sent an N/A version of the apexi N1, instead of the turbo version i ordered. THis was about a year ago, and now im turbo'd and really need the 3 inches.

My question is can i just take the exhause off, take it to an exhaust shop and be like "make me this, but in 3 inches." Its hard to find good mandrel benders around here, so this would really make thigns easier, and probably cheaper.

Oh yea, can i also reuse my muffler. THe N/A version is still bigger than 3 inches, so itd work fine right?

it would be pretty expensive if you did find a muffler shop and have them make a 3" turbo back

a different alternative would to be the piping from Kteller.com it works and has a different entry fee

I would take it to a shop, it shouldn't be too much, or get a quote atleast.
