did you get a y-pipe also or did you just get the catback? if you didn't get the Y then you really just changed the sound and didn't gain much if any power

Default Lost power?

I put a SLP LM1 on my 1999 Z28, and FELT a gain! Mine has also caused some squeaks and rattles though. I climbed under my car and checked, nothing is touching. My nephew said it may be clips used on the rear hatch for the interior pieces on my car.

i can hear it under the passenger seat and it just started doing it since i got it
to be honest i dont feel a gain i think its bc it sounds like its going faster than it really is sometimes

I doubt ou'd even feel anything from that. The main point of restriction is at the headers. you need some LT's and an ORY.

The only real gain from the LM1 is the weight reduction.
