Intermediate exhaust pipe?

Hey anyone know where I can purchase just an intermediate exhaust pipe for a 2000 F150?..it's an extended cab with a stepside bed. I need one that will fit over the original 2.5" pipe on one end, but then step up to 3" the whole rest of the way. I know tons of exhaust kits come with this pipe. But thats all I need.
Any advice? It's kinnda hard to find them online. If you go on summit.com they have some dynomax ones, but I can't quite figure out which is the exact one I would need.

Yeah it needs to be about 4 feet or so... 50 inches for what I need. But yeah its needs to be 3inch diameter, but just have a 2.5inch inlet so it will fit the little pipe that is there when i cut slightly behind the y pipe.

local muffler shop should be able to do something, i think they make adapters, like 2.5" in 3" out that you could get fitted.

Try your local muff shop. They should be able to expand the ends and provide the size you want. I had a new one made and only cost me $25 and its a good fit as well.

Yeah plenty of manufacture's make x and h pipes for f150's. But thats not what I need. I've decided i'm just gonna get a flowmaster venturi reducer cone and use that...cause alot of people I talk to seem to think that going with a 3" pipe will lose power.

i have this exact setup, after the ypipe i have straight 3" to where the old muffler was, then i have a 40 series flow, and just a down turn tip off the back of the muffler. i think it looks super clean because you dont see the exhaust at all, but i called troyer yesterday about having them tune it, and they told me that i do not have enough backpressure because the little 4.6 needs backpressure to make low end power. i have been driving with this setup for a while and its ok, but i had oversize tires put on the same day and just figured that was what stole the power, im going to go back to 2.5" and see if that helps. sorry so long but i hope it helps
