The template_redirect hook will replace the actual output with yours.

<?php
function mycontent() {
	if ('bar' == $_GET['foo']) {
		?>
		<html>
			<head>
				<title>foo</title>
			</head>
			<body>
			foobar
			</body>
		</html>
		<?php
		exit; // important!
	}
}
add_action('template_redirect', 'mycontent');
?>

Kind regards,
Alex
