Default Downpipe fab question

So this is the only 3 inch 90 degree peice i cna find available. In my opinion though, a 6 inch radius is so large for a Honda downpipe, has anyone found anything smaller? or anyone made a downpipe before using something like this? seems like ill have some clearance issues if i use something with such a large radius bend... this is 3 inch piping btw...

I have to fab my own with lots of pie cuts... I'm not sure what you are trying to do by staying tight other than try to keep your a/c... Its not the prettyest but its nice and tight so I can put my a/c back on my car

I use pie cuts a lot for tight clearance downpipes, and customers seems to like that look better for whatever reason. Here's a turbo D16 that clears the AC and factory EF full size radiator, 2.5" downpipe.
