Hi, sean

I've got a jig to make a small adapter pipe, unfortunately it's to slip over 2" o/d pipe

Drill out the end cap rivets (the end with the long inlet pipe).

Remove end cap.

Remove carbon sleeve.

Remove internal flange with long inlet pipe connected to it (you need to unfold the ali lip that's folded over onto the flange).

Take the long pipe and flange to any stainless place and they will cut off the long pipe and weld in a short stub of the correct ID / OD.

Otherwise, try MK Engineering (not MK Cars).
