This should be no prob.

Look in the phone book for custom exhaust shops and call around.

You want to find shops that work with custom hot rod fabricators. You want 
mandrel bent tuning (this is sometimes a limiting factor). Stainless is a 
bit tougher, but there are shops that do a lot of stainless. The hot rod 
guys like stainless because they (like a lot of us) don't put a tonne of 
miles on thier cars so they want something that'll last.
