Default slp headers

i called today and talked to slp, they said that the headers with the O2 hook up in them might still set my check eng. light off, should i just go with no O2 headers and get a O2 simulator?

Front O2's are necessary
Rear O2's can be deleted from the PCM with tunning software, or Use O2 sims.
SLP headers are junk. Go Kooks, or Pacesetters if you can't afford the Kooks.
Tuning is necessary to get the most out of the headers.

SLp Headers hang lower than other headers. You might have ground clearence problems. Mine will rub if I go over a speed bump to fast.

Yes, speedbumps are my headers worst enemy. They sound and flow good, but slp headers = no clearance.

Ground clearance with SLP headers and Hotchkis springs. If I had not gottin such a good deal on these I would have gone with another brand.

That is the only clearance pic I have. The clearance is not so bad at the headers, most of the problem is with the cats and y-pipe.

Is it the SLP High Flow Cats and Y-Pipe? Also with the Hotchkis springs what is your car lowered by, if at all?
