Cracked downpipe, looking for options



So it finally happened, the flex joint in my 88' 16v cracked and I now have
that lovely raw exhaust sound.  Not to mention the metal vibration when
pulling hard in the gears.  The rocco has been put on the bench for a while
as I try to track down some electrical issues that might be giving me some
false water tmep readings.  I'm also going to replace the motor mounts (oh
what fun) and I figured I might as well replace the downpipe while I'm in
there.

Problem is, I can't seem to find a nice used one.  I took a peek at TT.com
and while they have a race version, I kinda like my cat so I'm thinking
about keeping it even though I don't have emissions where I live.  So what
are my options?  I didn't see a "normal" 16v downpipe on TT.com (though I
didn't look too close just yet) and the race downpipe is a bit more then I
wanted to fork out.  Someone point me in the right direction please.
