It sounds like you've looked a little, by calling some shops. If you tell them its for off road use, you can probably find someone to do it. Most will install one, as long as you have cut the cat out yourself, as it is against the law to do so, unless its cloged etc. and being replaced by a new one. You could easily just go up to the auto store and find a sutible piece of pipe and put clamps around the pipe at each end to hold in place. I'm not sure how the ORP from companies is like, I would ask if it can be bolted in or if it must be welded in.

Loudmouth has a female ball flange. You'll have to have your ORP male ball flared and then you should be able to bolt it up.

I bought the ORP which was made by MAC. Took it to a custom fabricator in So Cal. Then, he removed the cat, sized it up, ground the edges and welded an adapter piece. When it was completed, he removed it and replaced the original cat. So, I can now have the interchangability to swap between the two... at the track.
