So i bought the full setup headers and exhaust. The problem is that the ypipe mount location does not match the stock mounts. SLP's site says its compatiable with anything but automatic convertibles, I have an automatic but not a convertible and I believe they say that about automatic convertibles because of the header fit, not the ypipe.

The more I look into this issue, I found that the instructions don't mention anything about automatic vs manual but all the pics are from a manual tranny setup. Not that it really matters because their install instructions are pretty generic.

Has anyone put this setup on their camaro? If so what problems if any did you run into.

Looking for automatic owner's responses. Thanks all!

Yup. I got package from slp for a 2000.

I think the point im trying to make is that when you compare the manual mount position and length to the auto, the positions are different by about 2 to 3 inches side to side. I believe that slp designed their ypipes for manual transmissions but failed in attempting to tell the public that since they say "not for automatic convertibles" not "not for automatics".

I hope i am wrong and this is a installation issue.

Ok just wanted to relay the information I found. When putting the ypipe on make sure that you don't tighten anything down. Just piece them together front to back and tighten up the mounts to the transmission first. Then move the pipes and cats until the caps are not longer showing. On the driver side put a piece of wood about 3/4" thick between the ypipe and the floorboard where its closet to the floorboard. If you don't do this then you could have issues with the ypipe hitting the floorboard when you have torque applied to the driveline. BTW its a pain in the *** to correct if you already clamped everything down the first time.
