i found these part #'s in JEGs/under EXHAUST
go to JEGS.com to get a free catalog

FOR YOU '89 iroc
**don't know about the intermediate pipe---
P/N# 389-17151---$228.99
(89-91 F-bodies with 3" Cat,3" single out)
P/N# 389-17234---$324.99
(89-91)F-bodies 2.50 CAT with 3" Duel out)

the muffler is a cossflow and has longer tips(not like the stock turn-downs) that come out past the rear bumper cover)
i think this kit comes with a 40 series flowmaster muffler

yes part 17233 has the stainless tips. it is the kit you want. 3inch coverter is stock on the HO 350 cars for 88 and up. I do not know about earlier years.
