Downpipe fiasco

I've been out of the Turbo Buick scene for a while but have just now gotten back in. I have a few cars that I am working on trying to get back on the road and fix up. I remember back in the day that a simple 3" downpipe with internal gate was a pretty common upgrade. I've bought many Terry Houston pipes, ATR, G body parts, and even a Postons pipe or two over the years. I have a car that only needs a downpipe to run but has been sitting for months because I can't buy a downpipe! I ordered an ATR pipe 6 weeks ago from one of the vendors and just learned that it will be another 6 weeks or more before I will see it. I called another vendor about the same pipe and found that 4 weeks is the estimate for them to receive any pipes and that I can place an order and be #15 in line. Does anybody have any recommendations? I would really like to have this 86 running so I can sell it to fund my new project. I really don't want to find another stock elbow and go back with the stock downpipe.
