I have to say as well. we have a old timer exhaust guy. that has done plenty of custom exhaust work for alot of hot rods. and I know alot of people that bring stock cars to them with and he custom makes the pipes. and usually charges way less then a chain muffler store.
I had my gmc over there. and he said the pipe was of a size that was not standard for any of his bending equipment.
sent me home. luckily I found out my stuff was not as rusted out everywhere. and i was able to patch it up with my MIG welder for now.

The original Onan exhaust pipe on my coach was 1 1/4" ID. We bend custom exhaust pipes in our business but finding 1 1/4" pipe (and dies) has been a problem.
I bought one years ago from Cinnabar and it wouldn't fit.
What I did with success was to purchase 1 1/4" ID flex exhaust pipe. Not nearly as elegant as a nice properly fitting proper pipe but it works - for a while at least - and it's inexpensive and would be perfect in an emergency situation.. I bought about 4' of the stuff from my local NAPA store the other day, enough to do 2 pipes, for about $10

IIRC, I used chain link fence top rail for 1-1/4" exhaust pipe. I never
had to bend it though. For the Troy-Bilt generator, I too had to resort to
flex pipe.
