Yes you can get one from Jegs or Summit Racing. I would put one in and I think you got a good deal on the pipes. I would clean them up as best as you can (get the rust off) and paint them w/high heat engine paint black. G/L & let us all know how it sounds.

X Pipe seems to flow better and reduce popping on decelleration. At least that is what I found on my C-5
