Default stock lt1 exhaust question

i have a 96 formula with a flowmaster muffler welded into the stock catback in place of the stock muffler. my question is what is the stock inlet size, and outlet sizes? im ordering this for my car http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Camar...QQcmdZViewItem

and am going to install a spintech muffler right after the cats.

the reason im piecing it together like this is that i dont want to spend 500 on a good catback right now.

or would i be better off buying a y and have them weld that to the pipe after it comes over the axle, then run new tail pipes?

I know you said you are piecing it together because of $ but in the long run you might be better off saving for a Magnaflow or another catback. Just my opinion.

That's just a shitty "Y" pipe. Go to a shop and have them fab something. That thing looks/sounds/performs like ****.

Or just buy a muffler seperate from the piping and have them install it.
