The cheapest and easiest approach is surely to have someone with a
suitable tubing bender bend it for you.  5/8 is used for some exhaust
stuff, a good custom muffler place might have a die.   Second simplest
is likely to use a piece of flexible tubing, either for the whole
piece, or just the bend.  Something like

should probably work...
