Flexible braided exhaust fittings are used on stationary emergency
generators.  Onan, for one, makes smaller, skid mounted equipment for backup
power in commercial facilities such as supermarkets.  These use a flex
exhaust which is in the same ballpark as the one you require.  Where can YOU
get it?  Hit the Yellow Pages and start making calls.  One thing: this type
of flex fittings is made to mate to IPS pipe.
