You can buy one almost anywhere now, on E-Bay, some muffler vendors sale them, and some people do it themselves.
Under $200.oo
You can get professional made header pipes from Rinehart, S&S, FuelMoto, Vance & Hines, and others manufactures.
Around $500.oo

Seems there are at least three ways to go-

1. Have the pipe cut, cat removed, re-weld pipe
2. Drill baby drill- use spade bit (lots of cat fighting over this method)
3. Buy a header pipe w/o the cat

Living in CA, I chose to not modify the stock head pipe, never know if I'll need it again one day. So I bought a Fuel Moto 2-1-2 headpipe about 5 years ago. No issues. Other than my right leg is no longer on fire.

there's videos on YouTube as well....cut it open an remove it an weld it back...or take it to an exhaust shop an have it welded back. some guys have great results an some complain of difficulty tuning.

here's the shortest one:
