Need pics of the stock exhaust

I'd like some pictures of a stock exhaust (particularly near the cat) that show the flanges and their positions.

My exhaust is...unique. It doesn't have a cat anywhere, and where I think it would be there is a pipe poorly welded in. The piping ended near the gas tank (rest either rotted off or last owner took it off), and just to get some kind of sound deadening on there, I had my friend's old flowmaster from his mk2 welded on with some piping to the back. It actually sounds pretty good, but I would eventually like to replace it. I may end up just having to buy a header, cat, and catback exhaust and put them all in at once- I can't tell where original flanges are gone from welding or what...but I might be able to save the original manifold.
Thanks
Alex

Had the same deal on mine. The only cat was the precat and it looked gutted or the insides had burned out. I'd get pics but its in an old barn about 20miles away from me now and I'm at work.

Thanks. I think I might be able to just replace everything catalytic converter and on. Is there any specific brand or type of catalytic converter that is more resistant to running rich on fuel? I know that is bad for cats... I'm not even sure it's really running that rich but it gurgles occasionally and has backfired once or twice on more aggressive shifts. All of the maintenance I'm doing may help too. Price isn't really an issue, just longevity.
