The 603-098-13-04 pipe in the photo below will fit right into the longer Euro crossover pipe. Sourcing is the main problem.
Wait, "the longer euro crossover pipe"? so you need a new charge-air pipe AND a new cross-over pipe? i didnt realize the euro had a different one, i bet that's pretty expensive. if the $300 quote is for just the euro crossover pipe, i bet the connector pipe is about another $200. I think it would probably be really cheap to have made if it were straight, but since its cone shaped i have no idea.

i know i saw pictures on this forum where someone had just had plates made for the egr and other holes. i know it wouldnt look as good, but being able to put this stuff back on easily might be an advantage.

good luck and let us know how you do!
