Jason - that is exactly the way mine looks. So I guess I will have to cut a piece out to see for sure and take it down to my plumbing store and ask them. As I said before, a master plumber glanced at it and said he could not tell without disassembling it. Thanks for the help.

Lakee911, I definitely will not use an all rubber boot anywhere. And yes, I meant a wye, not a tee. Thanks for the help.
