Default 944 turbo crossover

We just bought a 1986 944turbo that's a track car. Lots of nice mods from previous owner: Lindsey 3 inch exhaust, Bilstein coil overs, LSD, full cage, racing clutch, oil pan baffle, 1000 miles on the rebuilt motor, basically everything except for the stock turbo, which is fine as we are blue/green DE drivers, so that can get tweaked later if needed. It has a cracked cross over pipe and while my mechanic has welded it I would like to get a new(er) one. It looks like Lindsey only can modify your existing one, but I'm reluctant to put the money into ours, as it's marginal. Can anyone point us in the right direction? I know we want a three piece one so later work will be easier.
Oh, by the way, my game plan so far has worked perfectly: let the wife get hooked driving the 95 993 but worry about something happening to "the baby" and have it be her idea to get a track car!
Thanks,
Buzz

IMO its best to have the crossover modded with the car. I have seen modded crossovers not fit because the cars were ever so slightly different.

Get a good used one then take it to a reputable high performance exhaust shop near you and tell them what you want. Probably about the same price but it will be a perfect fit for your car.

I have a good, used two-piece type if you're still looking.
