Straight pipes sound terrible on our cars. Like ear splitting, keep tylenol in the car, piss everyone off around you terrible. Hope it works out for you but if it was me grab a muffler or resonator to stick in there. Start the car and feel for leaks around the clamps. If they leak run to the muffler shop and get it welded. No leaks the clamps are fine.

Exhaust clamps are a joke, weld everything! You asked.

Resonator would go just ahead of the "Y" if theres a cat in the stock position. But- IMO, the farther forward the better.
 
WELD IT! I replace exhaust clamps all day on semis because they fail. few people weld there stuff and when they do they never have exhaust leaks hmmmm imagine that.
 
Weld it. I have a video on youtube of my car on the dyno and the cat back blowing off as soon as he went WOT. Scared the **** out of a LOT of people too lol.

I not sure I know most of the car is stock I haven't looked to much into the drive train I'm very new to working on cars and even newer to the pontiac, was the getrag in most of these ??

If you have a stick its a five speed manual which is a getrag which is worth more then it's weight in gold they are very rare! A lot of guys covet them and are sought after so much because the can be swapped into 97+ would like to see a ride thread started for your car
 
Wow see this is why I got on here I didn't know any of that, I'll take pics when I get home thanks for that piece of information
