That looks like long tube headers connected to a magnapak exhaust system ( http://www.corvetteguys.com/enlarge-...magnapack.html)

Had it a while but am having regrets about the drone and volume of the exhasut setup.....wanna switch some of it out. I never really never knew what was on it besides the Trademark Logos. Mods were done by previous owner who had no idea what he put on.

so, if I had to go emissions legal I would need to replace resonators with Cats, or replace the whole exhaust set up sans headers.

Not positive on this, but it looks like you should be able to add just a regular axle back behind the resonators to quiet it down.

OP, You can have some high flow cats installed in place of the resonators, and then just replace the over the axle section of your existing set-up with some used Ti's, and you'll be set.
