Black Widow do some, but check stock.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

Header pipes clean up okay, any cracks in the welds can be welded up. Just make sure the flanges are okay as they can corrode & disintegrate.

Wicky was amazing at pulling out links about a particular problem from years ago, and quite often one of the very first with a reply of help.

RIP Wicky, you're definitely missed,
