86 FC Stock Y Pipe
When I bought my FC the exhaust was cut behind the mufflers.
There was an pipe reducer on the end of the pipe below and I never knew there was a pipe in a pipe.
Is the outside pipe to reduce temperature?
I have to get a custom pipe made to connect the Y pipe back to the mufflers that were on the car. Not sure if I should just use a adaptor again or single out the inside pipe to connect to the mufflers.
I know I should replce the whole thing but $$$ is pretty tight.
Thanks for your replies.

I was also on a tight budget, I bought "Bosal" brand cat-back system at amazon.com
I'm happy with it, but if you're looking for that aggresive look and obnoxious sound then this is not for you.

The stock pipe is heat shielded so that is why there are "2" pipes.
The stock diameter is pretty small,I think 1.75 so you can go bigger,just find some flanges and get a pipe fabbed up to whatever to want.

What's your budget?
When my exhaust rusted out and I needed to find replacement, I calculated and figured I'd go with a good aftermarket cat-back instead. Corksport's cat-back exhaust for FC is around $400 and I went with that.
Just something to consider if your budget allows for an upgrade.

This post was the best responce. The car is all pretty much stock and the outer pipe is a heat shield.
It's going to be tricky to cut a few inches off the heat shield pipe to fit the adaptor pipe.
Money is very tight and I'm hoping to fix the situation for less than $50. for both sides.
Thanks again Mr. Styx

Thanks for the advice, really working with little $$$.

I doubt a cheap exhaust would bother including a heat shield.
