Not drone, just some of the deceleration pop. I like mine with the bullets, but I got a great deal on it barely used.

Thanks guys. Long tube headers are illegal in California so that's not really an option for me. Other than the smog laws out here this is one of the best climates to run a Vette.

In Calif., if you install headers with high flow cats, as long as your car can pass the sniff test, you should be okay. Most corner smog stations don't know which headers are short or long or have a CARB #. They don't get under the car or lift it to see what's there. On the visual inspection, they are looking for things like missing or disconnected smog pumps/ hoses, crank case breathers etc. You don't have to smog it for six years, so the most you would have to do is replace the cats if they burn out or clog up.
