Where can I find a new 6 port pipe for my exhaust?

My SE's pipe that opens the 6 ports is rusted off the cat and is missing half way up it. I'm going to order a new RacingBeat exhaust but it doesn't come with that pipe anyone know where I can find one. I'd prefer new.

are you buying just the header? or the complete system because racingbeat makes a presilencer with the pick up tube you need. if your buying the system piece by piece its 200 extra bucks but serves its purpose well. if your gunna fabricate your own custom exhaust with just the header than buy some 3/8 steel fuel line and weld it in to the pipe about 14'' back from the header collector flange. also, if you take this route, make sure the pick up protrudes through the exhaust piping facing parallel opposite to the direction of flow

best bet would be to either make it yourself or find a gsl-se being parted out at a wrecking yard or something.

I am buying the complete system. My pipe is half way missing from rust, I never thought about welding a piece of fuel line. I might just do that if i can't find a good replacement. Thanks for the idea.

the complete system comes with the 6 port presilencer already so you dont have to worry about the pickup tube. make sure you tell them its for a GSLSE though!

The pick up tube is what I need. My pick up tube is halfway missing. The flange is gone up to about half the tube.

Here's an easy way to actuate the fifth and sixth ports with a header installed. No special pre silencer and no welding. A drill, a tap, a short rubber hose and $10 worth of plumbing supplies.

Well I got it fixed today using brake line and quick steel. Its nice having the ports work again. I still will need to find another for when I get my new exhaust but this will work for now.
