oops, broke my exhaust, sounds great, runs a lil weaker
well guess what everyone? i broke my exhaust! my '87 Formula supposedly has Magnaflow exhaust on it and on the way home the car got real loud (ya know, soundin real good to a *******!). well, turns out the pipe coming from the single cat to the "magnaflow" had slipped out of its clamp. i purchased a new clamp in a quest for more power, i got more power but that muffler has to be quieter than stock! i cant even hear my darn car running! well, i ignored the rattles and "quiet but junky" sound it made my car have because i liked the extra power. until today. i was on the interstate and got in a race with a thunderturd sc, which i skillfully dusted, and at about 110, the new clamp let go, and later when i looked under the car, the muffler input was bent bad so ill just let it run straight cat for a while. so now i need some assistance from my fellow f-body lovers, send replies with your suggestions for what my exhaust system should be, as i have made the wise decision to rip all of that junk out. i know these cars fairly well, i just wanna see what everyone out there thinks about today's header/exhaust systems. thanks guys/gals!

just get your intermediate pipe replaced, and if you dont liek your muffler, get it replaced with flowmaster or hooker. Sound of my exhaust setup is in my sig.

Hooker shorty super comps and leave the Y pipe open!! That is what I have done so far. By Monday I will have the pipe in place of my cat and it will run out my tail. But I will still have a cut out in place of the cat. It sounds great. The muffler I would go with is the Ravin. It cost more, but it is worth it.
