Default Getting the right exhaust parts for SXT tip

I have the 07 SXT. Obviously there is little more than a couple inches of pipe coming out of the muffler. I searched around the forums but didn't find anything pertaining to just an exhaust tip. My mind doesn't work in imaginative 3D and all I want is a nice chrome tip that you can see under the rear bumper like the RTs. (different shape though) So, I go down to the local Advance Auto Parts store and find the tip I like, but I couldn't find the right adapters and elbows with the right angles and short enough lengths. Long story short, even with the right parts it would have been a 45 dollar bill to put on a 15 dollar tip. Besides going to a muffler shop, has anyone seen a "made-for-Caliber" kit with just a clamp, elbow, and tip for less than 45 dollars?

I went thru that exercise when I first picked up my SXT
with RT style bumper but again could not ptece together
the right turn and twists.Finally bit the bullet and went to
local Midas shop with chrome tip I bought and paid them
abt $55 US to cut and weld on the right combo.
I haven't seen a kit anywhere to do it like mine since.
Pic of mine attached.

Yeah, they didn't leave much pipe to attach to. I'm really surprised that the factory tip doesn't exit from under the car to keep fumes from collecting under there.
