silicone coupler question

the way i am routing my piping i need a weird coupler that i cant seem to find anywhere. I need a 180 degree coupler that is 3 inch. It has to be a tight bend like this:
FRS Silicone Hose Coupler 180 Degree U Elbow Connector 2.50 in/64mm

if anyone knows where i can find one please let me know or if anyone knows of a company that can custom make it please let me know also.

for that bend i used two 90* with a coupler in between. the only resaon you can tell it's two silicone pieces is because of the two t-bolts locking em down.

3" Silicone Coupler Joiner < this. only i needed a 2.5" joiner, if you need a tight bend just trim your 90*s down to fit your needs.
