FB 1981 Exhaust Connecting Pipe Availability?

Starting my quest to remove my cats so I can save them for next CA smog check. Looking at Racing Beat exhaust system. Hit a problem... I dont have the oem connector pipe between last cat and muffler. At some point in the cars life it was removed and a replacement pipe was installed, bolted to the muffler in the oem way, but welded to the cat. Looks like RB need to you provide the oem pipe with bolted connections both ends. Had a hunt around and looks like connector pipes are very hard to find. Any workarounds, aside from having one made?
