3.5" TBE --- Does anyone still make these?

I'm trying to find a 3.5" TBE for my '93FD. I can't find anything, anywhere. I see a few ancient posts talking about them, but all the links are dead. Ideally a high quality 3.5" TBE, not ebay garbage. Stainless DP, and a preferably titanium cat-back. But I'll settle for stainless. Can anyone point me in the right direction? This **** has to be out there somewhere, but maybe I'm just too new to the car to know where to look.

I don't care about cats. I live in Texas and the car is 25 years old so I don't have to go through emissions inspections. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Great timing! I was in the same boat so I am having a local fabricator knock out a dozen 3.5" SS exhausts. Top quality, using two repack-able mufflers with the proper high temp scrubble packaging. A single stage under the car where the cat normally sits and a dual stage out back. A few are being made with a 3.5 > 3" transition to bolt to the factory downpipe. The others will have a 3.5" vband.

I needed 3 for myself so decided to help out the community with the rest. First one is finished, I'll post up some pictures this week. We looked at Ti, which I can have him make if anyone wants, however the weight savings was not cost effective compared to 304ss.

Such is life!

They're gearing up for a 3.5" titanium setup here, also: https://www.rx7club.com/group-buy-pr...haust-1136943/
