Alright I have a 02 Hawk that I want to do some mods but not take away from it being a Firehawk. I was wondering if anyone is using the SLP Y-Pipe that replaces the factory stamped piece. The car has the Dual Dual exhaust IMO it sounds great I just want a few more ponies keeping the same exhaust tone. Just want to know if any of you are using it and if its worth spending the money on.

I have put it on, seen no difference at the track or in
sound, and taken it off for long tubes.

Ditto, I made that mistake

Agreed...if you're going to do it, do it right

Some LT's will also come with a Y pipe too, so just buying a Y pipe by itself is a waste.

This is the SLP Y that is a direct replacement for stock
and fits to the stock cats. The main reason it's a waste
is that aside from the crush that GM put in the stock Y,
it's replacing pipe with pipe of the same diameter.

I know they are worth it I have a set on my other ride. I am going a different direction with this car thanks for the input I wont waste my money on it.

+1 Not only that, but there is that nice crush above the rear passenger side axle too on the SLP Dual-Dual...

Get LT Headers and a matched Y or the Bassani true duals instead... ;-) Oh wait, the latter will change your sound a bit more!

I have LTs on my 98 and I have been trying to get that perfect sounding exhaust for a long time. So far the only thing that I like is true duals but that came at a cost of ground clearance it went to ****. So for the Hawk I have been researching a lot of different options before I take the plunge. I will look into the bassani true duals

For the life of me, I am surprised this is the ONLY company selling a full (out the rear) true dual kit for 4th Gens!!! Seems like there are some big opportunities out there for exhaust companies -- if they want to play ball!

That's because it bolts up to the stock cats.

any pics of this system installed?

Where, specifically? Obviously the F-Body was NOT designed for true duals, so it's GOING to be a compromise of sorts...

How do you like the sound?! Audio/video clip? ;-)

[rhetorical]Did you click the install link?[/rhetorical]

It says "Note to installer: this system directly installs only with the stock catalytic converter pipes in place."

Because these cars are getting so old it is unlikely that a major company is going to jump in and create new true dual setup. I wish they would have come factory with something like the bassani kit, or even like the 04 GTOs 2 pipes on 1 side. There are a few good kits out there I ran the Ebay stainless true duals for a few thousand miles on my 98 it sounded amazing but ground clearance was ****. I was hoping for better news about that SLP y pipe but I am going to listen to the majority this time and pass. Looks like I need to start saving up for ARH or Kooks for the Hawk now.

I noticed an increase in power when I added my y pipe.

if you say so.

I did exactly as you are wondering. I had the stock set up on my 02 firehawk, and changed out the bent y with the new slp y ALONG WITH LM1. The best sound and seat of the pants feeling came when I put the ARHeaders with their catted Y on to the LM1. Dont just buy the new Y with our stock exhaust. Save up, cause you wont notice anything with just the y, in my opinion.
