Default Exhaust question

I have a 2001 zo6 with long tube headers, converters, xpipe and b&b catback. The converters have clamps on the header side and on the other side, then short straight pipes that lead into the xpipe and on to the catback. The question is if I take the converters off, where can I get the pipe to feel the space? Do I have to have it made at an exhaust shop? Can I buy that somewhere? Is there even a name for that part of the exhaust? Also the car has o2sensors in the headers but right past the converters in the straight pipe leading to the xpipe the holes have been welded up where the other o2's would have gone. Do you think this car had been tuned because it runs good as hell and there is no check engine light on.
Thanks in advance
Justin

you are wanting a test pipe or off road pipe...any exhaust shop can make you one up for pretty cheap...there is not much to them .

Your post cat 02 sensors have been deleted and tuned out. Stick the off road pipe in and you're good to go.
