Cannot find Front Exhaust Pipe

I have a '93 2.5 L and I am having a nearly impossible time finding a Front Exhaust Pipe. Almost every dealer online or local seems to stop at '92 for the YJ.

I did find a dealership that could order one but they want $134 for it. That seems a bit hefty for that.

Does anyone know where I can find one at a better price?

I live in the Northern VA area (Manassas) if by chance someone knows any local parts dealers around my area.

$134.00 is a pretty good price for the exhaust manifold! I spent about $300 for an aftermarket Borla unit.

Let me clarify this a bit.

I am replacing the Catalytic converter and muffler.

I have a Catco Direct Fit Catalytic converter and a Dynomax Super Turbo Cat-Bak kit.

I am a novic at this so the person who is helping me said I should just go ahead and replace the Front exhaust at the same time because it would be easier to get a good seal if all the parts were new. Again, being a novice with exhaust systems it seemed like sensible advice, but with the extreme difficulty in finding the part does anyone concur with this decision?

I'm not able to weld the system in so I'm interested in whatever the best approch is. I greatly appreciate any and all advice that you could offer.

If I should go with a custom bent pipe where do I find them? Also I am not replacing the manifold just the front pipe.

Go to any muffler shop. I mean EXCLUSIVELY exhaust work, and they should be able to bend and install a pipe for you for less than $50.

you already are committed to spending over a hundred, save yourself some labor. Shoot, if you have all the other parts, let them hang them too. Call around and get an estimate.
