Angled Header Reducers?

Does any company make angled Header reducers?
Here’s the problem: You install a new set of headers in semi-custom application. They fit, but the collector comes out right in front of a crossmember, or steering link. Theres not enough room for a common elbow-bend. You need the bend to start right at the reducer (at least 40 degrees) in order to clear, whatever it is you need to go around.
I know a good exh shop can fabricate something, but I could swear I saw manufactured, bent reducers somewhere?
