Exhaust question

I feel really dumb posting this but I just bought a turboXS muffler off of eBay. I honestly thought this was considered a "catback". But as it turns out its not. Where can I buy the missing pipe?

can you post a picture of what you got? did you only get one of the two pieces of the full cutback?

I haven't actually received it yet. So all I can show you is the stock picture. Its the bottom portion only. I'm only getting the muffler and some gaskets and bolts.

oh wow. You might want to shoot TurboXS (they are a vendor here) a message and see if they have an 'intermediate pipe' laying around that you can purchase.

You may be able to use the one from the stock catback. I had mine taken off recently, and it looked very similar to that stock picture. There was the muffler section and then a straightish pipe bolted on. In my case, the pipe was rusted on to the muffler and couldn't be detached, but you might have more luck. Not sure if the pipe diameters will match up though.
