2" drop?? That's pretty low..........

DON'T GET SLP. If you get any decent headers the problem will be the Y-pipe passing under the floorboards.

BTW: Bang for the buck goes to coated pacesetters.

I have jethot longtubes and a custum y-pipe. The headers were never the problem. The 3" y-pipe was to low and going out of most sloped drive entries/exits 9 out of 10 I would scrap. My y-pipe is tucked up as far as I can get it to the floor without banging. My stock y-pipe was scratched to hell for that matter.

I sold the sportlines and put the stock springs in for now. Going to get something with a 1" drop. Guess it depends on how the roads are where you live and if you have to drive it everyday. If it was just my weekend fun car i probably could have lived with it. Good luck on your choice

IF you are looking for "noise" get the loudmouth and leave the rest of your exhaust alone. It sounds pretty good on stock manifolds and cats. I just don't see a 2" drop working to your advantage at anything.

maybe it rides like that becuase your riding on stock shocks, but maybe you did change them, and if u did than ur springs suck

i have sportlines, MAC's, Y-pipe with carsound cats, and borla. i rarely scrape on anything, unless i go over a really steep speed bump or driveway. the y-pipe is no lower than stock.

i agree, SLP is junk stay away from them
