I got one at autozone for ~2.5" pipe, but they're a PITA to use. I think it was less than $10.

I got one for a 3" pipe and it broke before it expanded the pipe. Have a place do it for you.

J.C. Whitney was the only place I could find a 3" expander. If/when you get one, do yourself a favor, take the bolt out of it and put a LARGE thick washer under the head, then put it back in and use it. Otherwise it will most likely break.
