that one should work fine. I have a test pipe on my 89. It doesn't sound terrible, it's not as deep as I would like but it functions. You gonna remove the precats too?

i would try to find one that has a bend in it the connects it straight to the manifold and eliminates both cats. you could try and have one made too, just get the pipe and have a muffler shop bend it then weld the appropriate flanges on, at keast thats what i did.
