'Course I'd vote for the full Dynomax catback, part #WLK-17493, from SummitRacing.com (all 3 pipes and the muffler) for $160.
You might just want to get an AC/Delco fuel pump from the dealer (some parts stores like Pep Boys carry them) for a 2.8 V6. The ones from Summit are for high HP v8's. When I weld my new 1/4 on, I've got to drop the tank, and I'm going to replace that pump with an AC/Delco one for a 5.7 TPI motor. Remember when you replace the pump to NOT reuse the pulsator; buy a new one for $40, or use a short piece of high pressure fuel hose (should come with the pump) and some clamps. Pulsators use o-rings to connect to the fuel line, and over time, the o-rings can leak, and you lose fuel pressure (not good).
Brake line, try http://www.classictube.com , you can get them in stainless. You might also want to try the local junkyard. Do you need the two steel lines on the axle (cheaper) or the long line from the front of the car to the back (expensive)? If you're talking about brake hoses, any local stores has 'em... and I'd actually suggest that if you're replacing any hard lines, you should replace the hoses at the same time. (Original '88 hoses = 14 years old, not too safe.)
You can also buy pre-flared brake tubing, and a $5 tube bender (cheap, just a piece of metal that's curved to bend tubing), from your local auto parts store. Tip: You need brake line "for foreign cars". For some reason, it hasn't clicked in peoples heads yet that the american cars, specifically GM, has used metric fittings and metric "bubble" (real name = ISO) flares on brake tubes since '84.
I think a Pep Boys radiator goes for about $120, you can check prices at places like http://www.partsamerica.com or http://www.expressautoparts.com . Those links are great for part #s... for instance, I know my local "real" auto parts store carries A1-Cardone rebuilt master cylinders, so I just go in and say I need an A1-Cardone, part #10-1997. Saves me time, and saves the guy ordering the part from making a mistake.
Too bad carparts.com isn't around anymore. I searched through yahoo.com for "carparts.com coupon", and found a "$50 off $100 order" coupon. I then bought $120 worth of rear brake parts for $70! That would be a big help for your radiator, but the dummies merged with JC Whitney, and now they don't carry regular replacement parts anymore.
Wait! I just went there, and looks like you can buy regular parts from carparts.com again! Cool! Uh oh, one bummer, radiator = $180 (Modine). Here's a 10% off "online coupon" (you put the code into carparts.com) at http://www.dailyedeals.com/free_onli...s/carparts.htm .
I also just found http://www.radiatorexpress.com , and they want $140 for a radiator.
I bet you could get one from a junkyard for $50, make sure that the inside is clean, and that the coolant in the thing is clean (green, not brown mud). Remember too that if you have an automatic, the passenger side sidetank must have fittings for the automatic tranny cooler.
