Default Formula Production number question *pictures included*

I wanted to know what the color production numbers where for 1996 Firebird Formulas . . . . I've got a Purple M6 Formula and it seems alot of the local fbody guys said it's a very rare color for this year. . .

here are some pictures of the car to oggle at - I'm not a fan of the wheels very much but they came with the car that way and at this point no need in wasting money on them. . .some ws6 look alikes would be nice though! *as this car is going to remain stock*














also name that exaust I'm thinking flowmaster 80 series. . . .yeah and sorry it's crooked previous owner did that trying to drill into the gas tank . . .*trying to replace that too* also for those who care this car was NOT cold started reved. . . .- I had it running before taking the video killed it for the video and started it again after i let it cool down for 5 or so minutes.

It looks like a flowmaster, they are very distinctively shaped. Sounds like one too.
