how cheap are you looking for?
what sort of time frame?
what engine?
Custom Chrome aren't cheap but they do produce nice work and are nice people.
(in Attlebrough, Nuneaton)
Can you weld? If so you can produce your own by buying bent dairy tubes (or even tack one together and pay someone else to fully weld it)

I actually did that, bought bends from them and made my own, Just over £100. +35 for the R1 can.
Its in my pics. Ignore the asbestos stuff its a SVA cover.

Im not sure how much becaus ei have only just started looking into it. Unfortunatly I can't weld other wise i would have loved to have had a
go.
As far as time frame Im not in a rush as tax runs out at the end of this month so taking it off the road till the weather improves.
and its to go on a pinto/robin hood 2b

The looks good really like the uniform lines. but also like the 'cluster' look of the MK setups

There's a guy in Enderby ( Leic ) he does bespoke exhaust systems main for drag bikes but he would deffinately be worth asking.

I had heard that there was a chap in Barwell who does stuff like this, but I think he's a bit busy at the moment 
sorry!
