Not speaking for any of the fabricators here that are members, but for what you want, you can find new online starting around $ 150 and going up, which is probably less than or equal to what the fabricators would charge to make a similar item.
Brucker and SkinnyFab
Just buy one. Most fab shops probably won't have a die that big to bend the tube. Not much demand for that size tube in our world.
Edit: I guess an exhaust shop could probably bend it, you'd probably still be money ahead by hitting 4wp though.
Ya what they a said.
Not sure if this will fit your jeep ? As I only speak XJ.
Found it on Rusty's Offroad in the sale/clearance section.
Hi!

I'm sure xaza will correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe Aaron (Brucker) made his exo-cage out of 2"? Harbor freight sells a bender that goes to 3", so I'm sure it would not be tough to find a shop with a far better bender that can handle up to 3", although I'm willing to bet that Aaron's does. Just judging from your avatar Mark, I'm guessing your front is 3"? And if you dont need any bends at all, I can help you build one. I just don't have any way to make nice bends.
If you're looking for something with no bends that's a different story. Do you have some pictures of what you're looking for? Lots of us could help weld something up for not much more than some beers.
As for the snorkel you should probably spend some time thinking about how many water crossing you're going to find in Co that require one (I can't think of any) and what the price is that you're going to pay for making your engine try to breath through a straw. If you are wondering what that feels like go to a pool store and buy a snorkel, then run around the block trying to breath through it. There's a time and place for snorkels, and Colorado ain't high on that list. To each their own though.

I agree about the water crossings but find a snorkel is a great way to put your intake above the dust/dirt (which we have plenty of) when driving behind anyone. Had one on my old truck and would do it again.
The "there's no deep water in CO" was my perspective until Chris told me of the dust issue.
I can TOTALLY see one to reduce air filter dust (I'm amazed how often mine could be cleaned and the jeep is just a weekend road-trail vehicle).
I don't think you'll get much benefit from ram but getting the intake from the hot engine compartment should help - cooler air/greater density. After tearing out my wheel well liner my intake was exposed so I removed a section making my intake under the hood. I can't say I've noticed a change but the cooler weather may be why.
You want tube, not pipe. With available pipe wall thickness it'll weigh a ton. Pick up some 3" OD x ~ .090 wall tube and you'll be set.
