most, if not all muffler shops carry mild steel.
you can get those bends you are looking for from www.jcwhitney.com or www.speedpartsrus.com

Re:People who have fabricated their downpipe. (Need Answer ASAP)
I went to speedparts4us.com and I like what I see, but the stuff I would buy is on backorder. 
If I order from there, I am thinking that a U-Bend and a J-Bend would be all I need. Or will I need a straight piece just to make sure? Also, I am going to be using a 6" flex piece. Are Stainless Steel pipes a pain to cut?
Any help is appreciated.

Re:People who have fabricated their downpipe. (Need Answer ASAP)
I just took a look at the ebay 45 and 180 degree in one thing and it looks pretty good. I think it'll be enough I am just gonna have to do some cutting, but since you guys said it was cake then it shouldn't be a problem. Thanks a bunch guys, you have really helped me out on my decisions.
If you guys wanna see the pipe here it is:
