Default Couple of things

We just finished installing the Kirban shifter on my dad's vette and I don't know what yall are smoking but that thing is amazing. Doesn't rattle, doesn't shake. It's short, notchy, and stiff. Just the way my old man likes it. Went on without any troubles. We didn't even bother to put on the silencer ring that comes with it. It's very quiet. We did end up putting the stock shift **** back on it.

Another thing. I heard a set of Two-tip stingers the other day at AutoRama in Houston, Texas and they had an exotic sound to em. I loved it. But I was talking to a guy who worked at House of Speed and he said to go with the B&B PRT exhaust. I've never heard this exhaust and was curious if anyone had a sound clip of it. That way I can get an idea of what they sound like.

Are step headers worth the money? Wouldn't a normal set of long tubes be just as good? I know the purpose of step headers but my dad and I both can't see spending 1500 bucks on a set if a normal set of 500 or so dollar longtubes would be just as good.
