Question for those who have cut off secondary cats

I'm getting ready to have the secondary cats removed from my SL55 and I know that others who have had the process done said you need a stainless steel 3" u-bend to fit the bends left by the removed cats. My question is which type of 3" u-bend do I need for the job. When I look them up online I find different numbers with regards to length of the legs, radius, outside diameter, etc. I've included links to a few u-bends I've found for sale online and was wondering which one of these would be the best application for my car. I just want to make sure I get the right pipe for the job so if anyone could look these over and let me know which one works the best it would be greatly appreciated.

Just to clarify, I'm trying to figure out the correct outside diameter and radius for the u-bend to weld in place of the secondary cats.
