What about the flanges?  Is there anything (perhaps off the later 20V
cars) that shares the same flange size/pattern?  With that you could
have a test pipe made up pretty easily.

For that matter, I've been told that there are some generic exhaust
flanges that can be used on the 5k/2c when manufacturing a test pipe.  I
would assume that similar would be available to match the ur-q.

Time to take some measurements and head down to you friendly custom
exhaust shop to flip through his parts book?

HTH!
