Help me piece together a system

1989 Iroc L98.

I'm looking for some help speccing out an exhaust system. I know what I want, but I need help on specific products.

Here are my requirements:
  • Keeping stock manifolds. Not interested in headers at this time. Maybe later...
  • Need a Y-pipe with a 3" outlet. Must be mandrel bent.
  • 3" cat - I'm looking for something that will flow well, and stays 3" from inlet to outlet.
  • 3" intermediate pipe, mandrel bent
  • Hooker Aerochamber muffler, 3" in and dual 2.5" out. (I've researched this extensively and the Aerochamber is the muffler I want)
  • Stock-looking tailpipes, mandrel bent. I don't like the quad tips in the Hooker catback system. I could live with the Magnaflow tips if they weren't integral to the tailpipes.
  • Any required clamps, hangers, hardware, etc.
Basically, I want the system to stay 3" with no restrictions from the Y-pipe to the muffler. Help me out, guys. Again, I'm looking for specific products and links would be extremely helpful!

The only one currently available, that I'm aware of anyway, is Magnaflow. SLP & MACS offered them 20 years ago.

The rest sounds like you want virtually any replacement cat, and a Hooker catback with the tips cut off and replaced with something else you like better.
