z-tube missing a piece?

i just bought a polished z-tube off a member on here but i believe that there may be a piece missing.... the hole where the emissions tube connects is wayyy too big to put the hose around.... so i figure a part is absent

Make a run to Home Depot and buy a connector.

You need a 90° connector. One end goes into the Z-tube and the other into the hose in the car. Just bring the Z-tube with you and get one that fits. It should then fit the hose as well.
