CJ5 exhaust

i need some help finding parts for my cj5. i recently had the mufflers replaced, now i need new pipes. what i've got:



1975 cj 5 w/304. it's got edelbrock headers on it, if that makes a difference. it's a dual exhaust, with the mufflers between the tires on either side. the four pipes come off each side and join together right before the muffer [no cats in 1975]. i'm not sure if these are called the header pipes or the exhaust pipes, or if they're the same thing, but i can't find what i need online without knowing what to call them [and no websites have pictures of the parts i'm looking at].

i've got two pictures of the pipes if that'll give you a better idea:

can see 3 of the 4 pipes coming off the block in pic 1, andunderneath where they join together in pic 2. does anybody know where i can find replacements for these? i'm not sure if they're even a stock part. i bought this beast as is 2 years ago, and a lot of it was changed. i think it might even be a 1976 registered as a 1975 for emissions purposes. i'd like to find them online. i've all but given up finding any parts locally. any help would be appreciated. thanks.

If you are talking about the rusty piece of steel inbetween the 4 pipes from the engine and the nice fresh bolts on your exhaust parts, the correct term is "collector" The good news is that they are available from quite a few sources. My local guy is

The bad news is that these are a welded part of the headers and are normally not replaceable. You can try to find someone that will weld up rusty header pipes but anyone who has enough skill to know how has learned the hard was that thin and rusty is very bad news.

Time to spring for a new set of headers. :(

Cheers.

If I had your problem, I would be visiting my local muffler shop to see what they could put together for me.
