Question 85 12A headers and pre-silencer

Hi all:

Attached is a link to a few pictures I took of the parts I received tonite for my 85 12A manual. It seems I have a missing pipe for the complete exhaust. I have the header pipe and detached pre-silencer. Isn't there another "in-between" pipe that attaches the pre-silencer to the muffler? I have that piece of pipe on my oem headers, but it rusted on tighter than a nuns ***. I'm hoping the current headers I have on the car right now has the piece I need (and able to undo) to attach to the new header pipe. If not, is the section of pipe I need expensive? I know I'm also gonna need a few gaskets and flanges. I'll need a gasket/flange for the header to pre-silencer pipe, the pre-silencer to the "mid-pipe", and the mid-pipe to the muffler. Any suggestions on where I can order up a few gaskets and flanges for cheap? Any help is greatly appreciated.

That RB setup is meant to work the stock Mazda connecting pipe. You can pick one up at pretty much any muffler place. You'll need the single pipe one on your 85 (not the dual pipe).

So I'm going to need the oem connector pipe that attaches the pre-silencer to the muffler? I'm hoping some WD-40 and a lot of torque will budge those rusty bolts.

If I have to get one at a muffler place, anyone know what they go for?
