Best bet is buy a ready made one like the sportex, they are tried and tested by a few members but if you want swept up monza style then you will need to find someone who does stainless welding to attach it plus you have to make sure you can attach it to the rest of the exhaust as there is only usually about 2" of pipe to attach the box and it has to be spot on.
