connecting pipe from cat to muffler

so I am haveing a rough time finding a connecting pipe from the cat to muffler I order a cat replacement and a new muffler so i need that pipe so if any one has one for sale at a good price I would be interested. Oh and this will be the first exhaust I have ever put on before so do I need to weld anything or is it just a bolt on? and where is a good place to find gasket for the exhaust?

I don't know about any other year, but my '83 just bolts together using gaskets obviously where the pipes meet. All it is is a pipe, though, so why not just use the one that was on there already, unless you are going with bigger piping throughout the exhaust?

Thats what I did works like a charm. I am doing a new exhaust for my turbo setup, so in the future I MAY be selling my full exhaust (or piece by piece). But thatll be in about a month So try the exhaust shop idea.

What year do you have? I have complete system from a 1982. It has a twin pipe setup after the cat but I have the muffler that bolts to it.
