So I am now looking for a cheap y-pipe to hold me over until I get a dual system. I have tried Walker/Waldron/ebay and others like even TTI. I have a few email out to them. Quick question, my system seams to have a pipe inside a pipe system. Was this stock? Or did it get changed by someone? Car has 60K on it. I have a faint memory about pipe in pipe systems but I can't nail it down. Thanks, Lynn
 
Some pipes were a 2-layer sandwich type of pipe, back then. Not one single layer of metal as suspected. OEM. Until the later aluminized steel was used, as I recall.

OEM exhaust lines used to sell them, when the cars were newer. Walker was the best, back then, to me. But that was also one of the first parts of their total system to be discontinued when existing stock was depleted.

You might professionally patch the existing pipe. Otherwise hasten that dual system.

I was/am thinking of a tin can and two clamps as a quick repair.

Might want to include some "muffler cement" too. Walker sells it as a possible sealing aid for joints and such.

Might also investigate the "bungs" for adding and oxygen sensor to pipes for EFI. Some are now clamp-together halves. Would need a plug for where the sensor hole is, though.

These type of clamps helped to extend the life of a few of my old cars rusty pipes.

Howdy. When in High School Campbell's soup cans and coat hangers held my exhaust together.
