Is it because you live in a small town that has a muffler shop that isn't well equipped? I haven't seen too many muffler shops that don't have one of those Huth or similar tubing benders that can do almost any odd shape. In fact, most muffler shops no longer have lots of different exhaust pipes hanging from the ceiling like in the old days, they just make up what they need on the spot for each job.

When I swapped the 5.0 Ford into my Jeep pickup I had a really odd shaped exhaust system and the guy whipped it out with no sweat at all. I think you need to be looking for a better shop. Tail pipes for your car should be a piece of cake for someone with the right equipment and knowledge.
