That looks like the kind that RacerX70CC sells here on the forum and fleabay. I had one before I put the Corsas on. Still have it to. It's a little tight in the tunnel but will work with some slight bending. I was running it with Magnaflow axle backs. The rest of the pipeing was stock. I must say that the engine performance seemed better with this set up than with the Corsas. It just seemed to breathe better. I just hated the resonance this setup had. If this is his it is designed to replace the stock resonator. It's good quality steel and well made. My car is a '96.

My recollection fails me but it was under $100 if memory serves.

$90 sticks in my mind. I got the 3 inch. The 2.5 may be slightly cheaper due to demand?

Give them a call, post the price.

Here's a shot of the one on my LT1. I believe it also came from racer-x but it looks like a different design maybe.

Here's mine, again, 3" is bigger so 2.5 will give you more room.
