One piece at the master is bigger, you'll want to buy it as stock and cut it down and re-flare.
If you don't have the insert for the end of the inverter, you can use a nail or bolt that fits inside snuggly, and whack it with a hammer 'til the end of the tube is flat, then use the flare cone to finalize the end. You need to keep the tube a bit longer to allow some length for the inversion. Practice makes perfect, or at least within tolerance.
You might consider a coat of paint on the finished lines. Helps with the rust. 'Chrome' paint would look good.
