1985 RX7 GSL-SE 13b connecting pipe replacement

Hey so I just bought a 1985 RX7 GSL-SE with a 13b manual and the connecting pipe from the cat to the muffler has a hole in it. I searched mazdatrix and there is only a connecting pipe for the 12a manual, does anyone know where I could get this midpipe at?

Agreed on having one custom made; these have been NLA for some time now direct from Mazda, and are a common part to get rust holes.

when you have one custom made, ask them to use the thickest tube steel they have. It'll help cut down on the raspy exhaust note as it reflects off of the pavement under the car. Thin pipes are lighter, but sound horrible on our cars...
