Mac ORYP Installed - Very Happy! I am so impressed with the performance gain. The motor winds so fast now. Sound is strong, but not droning. Acceleration is substantially improved. I knew that my cam (.571 lift) was desperate to breathe! I'm still running the stock manfolds, but BBK 1 3/4 Shorty's are next on the list 
(car is lowered, I dont want long tubes).
Overall product is impressive. Tubing is very heavy gauge. Only one minor complaint... no matter what I did, the y-pipe was slightly off to the passenger side, and I could only get one of the hangar bolts started. I even tried persuading it with my feet as I gripped my sub frame connector... but that tubing is very strong. But in the end everything installed high and tight. No contact with body.
I call the Mac Y-pipe an awesome success.

Agreed, and I did think about 'em, but was told the drone is deadly. I drive my car everyday... if it was race only I wouldnt hesitate, actually I'd go LT's. But I'm chasing that delicate balance of real world vs. speed.
What do you think? Should I be concerned with drone probs with MAC 3/4 length headers?

Now that you already have the MAC y-pipe, I'd say go with your original plan, since the BBK's should bolt right up to that fancy y-pipe. If you are willing, you can buy MAC mid-length headers and the y-pipe, or buy just the headers and take it to a exhaust shop and have the y-pipe modified to fit the mid headers. If the drone is bad, buy some Bullet mufflers and have them welded in. They are like $40 each and about the same I'd guess to have them welded in. You will see 5-15rwhp with the mids over the BBK's. Just some food for thought.

And that is substantial gain. Question... wont the bullet mufflers defeat or minimize the gains?
