Can anyone help me identify this exhaust component?

Hello I have a 1986 NA 300zx 2 seater. Last summer I noticed that the engine started sounding like a weed whacker so I jacked the front end up and began looking for an exhaust leak. Underneath the engine I noticed coming down off of the exhaust manifold down pipe (after the two pipes combine) there is a metal tube that connects to another metal tube via a rubber tube which was dry rotted out. I replaced it with a piece of radiator tubing which quickly burned through and fell off again. So for the mean time I made up a fitting out of radiator tubing and a piece of copper pipe. It's lasted for 4 months now but I wanted to know if anyone could actually identify what the part is called so that I can order a true replacement if the current repair fails. I can't find the name of the part even in the factory repair manual I have. The tube runs up along the drivers side of the engine and it hooks up to something that appears to be a part of the emissions system. I have some pictures of the fitting I made up and where exactly the line runs, any help would be appreciated I've checked out zbums microfiche to find a part and I can't identify it. Thanks in advance!
