Replaced the exhaust from the y-pipe back. The original catalytic converter was shot and the muffler had a rust hole where it connected to the tail pipe. I used Walker exhaust components, struggled a little bit to get a tail pipe that fit but otherwise looks like the original.

Nice job. I did the same thing on my 88 last year, except the convertor. The walker components were the closest to OEM I could find. Really the only difference from OEM is the shape of the hangars are slightly different, and the tailpipes bolt on to the muffler. OEM they were welded. The hardest part for me was getting the tailpipes straight. I'm happy with it, sounds exactly like original to me.

New cap, rotor, and spark plug wires are on! Had to order a bunch of new spark plug wire retainers as most of the old ones were broken.
