Black pipe

Hey y'all. I have a 96 ford f250 the 5.8L. My question is about the black pipe that runs from the Air injection diverter valve off the back down the side and goes into the bottom of the engine. What is it called and where to get one. I'll attach some pictures.

It is the system that feeds fresh air into the exhaust manifolds to help heat up the catalytic converter. What is wrong with the one pictured?

No doubt, damn hard to find, and usually need to be welded up to repair.

Yeah, I was starting to think I'll either weld it or just make a new one myself but I'd rather just buy it if I can.

Your lucky day. The one I have is still good. It has the control valve and muffler. Where are you located. The freight will probably be high.
It was on a 94 F 250 5.8 in a salvage yard. I bought the engine for my 94 F 150.
Send me a PM with your phone #.

Some of the hoses are still good.

Fortunately the gorilla that removed the engine did not damage it

Control valve and muffler . Here you go.
