Help! Dual tip/single inlet chrome tailpipe

Ok....spent an hour running around town and another two hours online and here and still not any closer to finding what I want.
What I want:
A bolt-on dual outlet (round or oval/balogna cut) chrome tailpipe that is 2.75 inch ID inlet. The single tailpipe, which exits in front of the right rear, is 2.50 in. OD.
What I've found:
2.25 inlet. No good, muffler guy says they have split everytime he has tried to open them up and they don't make the 2.75 ID anymore.
Stainless steel tips. I am NOT spending $100.00 plus for a bolt on that could very quickly be UN-bolted. Especially since I've learned how hard they are to come by locally. Yes I could get it welded on but I'm cheap too and here's proof.
I had the stock muffler removed and tossed and a straight pipe welded in. $37.00 and I LOVE how it sounds. I got that info here, thank you very much!
So, now a simple dress up item to go with the sound for 50.00 bucks or so is all I want, but I sure can't find it. Am thinking that I'm going to have to build this myself by reducing it down to a 2.25 to fit what is available.
Also, does anyone have a pic and/or price info on the F150 Harley tip. Would it fit my 97 F150 4.6?
Any help or ideas greatly appreciated.

Done

OK, this was pretty simple. Chrome split tailpipe....largest available which is a 2.25". Bought adapter that went from 2.50" down to a 2.25". Cut about 18" off the original tailpipe (not easy because of the location of the spring hanger) and used a 2.50" clamp to hook it all together. Total cost $27.82.
I figure the increase in back pressure going from 2.50 to 2.25 is not too much of a sacrifice cosidering the stock muffler is in the dumpster.

Im not exactly sure what your are looking for but I would recommend looking into heartthrob exhaust becuase they came out with a really nice set of dual tips that looks almost like the corvette backend with two sets of dual tips coming out back. Its a really slick setup.
