I dont blame you dawg if i didn't have a Z28 I would be trying to get the sound also theres nothing more disappointing then a muscle car that lacks muscle

I have a flowtech glasspack on a 3.8L, it actually sounds really good, and I have a great let off/gurgle and the car sounds similar to an LT1 at start up. On the 3.4L I probably wouldn't do the glasspack tho, it seems the smaller the motor the worse a glasspack tends to sound, and the 3.8L can just barely pull it off under a lot of acceleration. Plus if you do it right, you can probably get a z28 muffler for next to nothing.

Okay, you need to understand that the Z28 muffler has dual outlets and a single inlet pipe. The Z28 is not a true dual pipe exhaust. A true dual exhaust has a pipe from each side of the engine, two mufflers (independent of each other), and possibly an "H" or "X" cross-over pipe.
I would just go with a new muffler, as a used one could be completely rusted inside. Even if it looks good on the outside, it could crap out on you in a few weeks.
To add a Z28 muffler to your car, you need the muffler, the hangars, and the outlet pipes (what you see from the rear of the car). If you go to a local muffler shop and talk to the guys there, and tell them what you want to do, they will be able to hook you up in no time. They can bend up the necessary input pipe to connect to your stock exhaust and fab up a couple of outlets also.
There shouldn't be a problem with installing the muffler as it is behind the catalytic converter so there are no mods to the emissions equipment.

Just as a rough estimate, as long as you have the z28 muffler, you shouldn't be paying more than 70 dollars for the work at a locol exhaust shop(try to avoid chains like cole muffler or places like that). Mine costed 70 dollars total, 20 for the muffler, 10 for a 2.25 to 2.5 inch adapter(I ordered .25 inch to big inlet/outlet muffler) and 40 for the tailpipe/labor. Although I would agree a newer muffler is a better idea, if you get a used one, it will more than likely have the tailpipes still intact, so just cut the muffler somewhere before the inlet pipe and you'll be set and grab the hangars to if you can.(although a shop can get/fab some for you)

Uh I looked In a camaro parts magazine I found that hangers for the 70-74 camaros are a hundred dollars they didnt have any for the 94 but still wtf why would a little piece of metal cost me a hundred dollars.

Those are OEM design restoration parts for those years of car. The hangers for your car are not available since they are simply a metal bar bent to fit and pushed through a rubber bracket.
