Yeah I have SLP SFC's and QTP long tube headers, no problems at all between the two. Doesn't even come close. I think the Y pipe might be what you have to look at. I just modified the SLP Y I already had to fit the QTP's and in the available space. The SLP SFC's are a "must have item" IMO. Doesn't take long to dimple the rear quarter pannels without them. You can see the Y to subframe separation in this pic:

Don't take it as written in stone but I do believe that SLP SFC's have clearance problems between the front brace and the Y-pipe if you run FLP's. Do a search on PPC headers, there are some pictures posted by Gordon of a guy's 35th SS with SLP Bolt-on SFC's and his headers.

I had to cut the front cross brace out of my SLP SFCs when I installed FLP LTs. The FLP Y pipe hit them.

You didn't say what brand of LT's you have, SLP LT's will work just fine with there SFC's.

Forgot to mention that I had Hooker LTs and Hooker Y on the car before the FLPs and they cleared the SFCs with room to spare.

By the way..... the PPC prototyping was done with SLP SFCs on the car .... so, Thay fit fine.

Also have been proven to fit with Kenny Brown Double Diamonds.

I had Kooks with Kooks ypipe and SLP subframes and had no problems - it fit perfect. Now the question is will the Kooks headers, QTP ypipe work with the SLP subframes? I'll see in a few weeks
