Gerry try:

www.busdepot.com

You can find many exausts there.  Is yours a California style?  I have an
82, but I plan on taking off my old cumbersome
muffler-crosspipe-EGR-CAT-piece of junk and replacing with a simple muffler
and tail pipe from a 72-74.  The ports are the same, and in most states or
provinces a 20+ year vehicle does not require emissions testing anymore.

Cheers
