The Fiero Store sells them... labeled as "performance headpipes". They're available in mild steel and stainless.

If you in more of a hurry, a local shop like Tuffy can make on while you wait. I have a regular muffler shop that will do about anything I need.

Ayup any custom muffler shop can make you one, they used to sell cat test pipes but they made them illegal by federal law so now you have to get them made.

Here we go again. Using a good high flow cat is in no way going to diminish the sound or reduce your horsepower. Only old, cheap, crappy, plugged up cats are NOT beneficial. Please, don't stink up our world for no good reason. It is your choice yes, but make the right, educated, and world responsible choice.

Yeah, here we go again... more preachy droning, and another sermon in my inbox. You've been put on ignore, so you'll have to rant in someone else's inbox now.

I purchased a CAT delete pipe from the Fiero Store about 10 years ago and I was disappointed because the fitment was quite poor. (maybe they have improved since then) Another suggestion... you can install a straight-thru glasspack muffler in place of the CAT which acts as a resonator and that eliminates most of the crackling/popping you would get with a straight delete pipe.

What year is your Fiero? I bought one for the 88 and it does make the exhaust sit kind of cocked back there or it may be the "85-88 V6" Ocelot exhaust system I bought from them...

I think it depends on the shop. Some will make it, others won't. basically, just get the diameter of the pipe and buy one to match, cut and clamp on.

Or go to Autozone and buy a length of pipe the correct diameter. Buy 2 clamps. Borrow their pipe expander. Prob solved for $10.
