Slp y pipe and exhaust for first time f body owner I just bought a 2000 ss Camaro. I have to put new tires on it and would like to do an exhaust. The guy I purchased the car for did the slp ram air with the lid. I was wondering if any one has done the slp y pipe to replace that tiny y pipe that is on there with an slp loud mouth.

$190, I just don't plan on doing headers. The car has 43,000 miles so I want to do to much to it. I just wanted a little extra hp and some sound. I was hoping a catback with the y pipe to maybe get an extra 15 hp.

Do Lt headers, ory, and down the line cat back or just different muffler and call it good, 650 dollars for Lt
and ory and ya got your nice sound with noticeable power gain

I like the SLP Y well enough. It has a decent merge.
It hangs a little low. But most relevantly, it will do
nothing at all vs the stock Y pipe. Same diameter
other than the crushed area, which is not causing
you anything besides visual grief.
The loudmouth is unrelated to the Y-pipe, you could
put it behind stock, SLP Y or even long tubes and
a standard-fit Y (most are set up to mate with factory
I-pipe options).

Yes, I took off the stock flatten side Y and replaced with SLP's new Y all with the LM1. Then I put on ARHeaders with their Stainless catted Y. I'm still running the LM1 with this set up and love it.

I have the SLP Y (Only bought it cause I got it cheap) and have the LM2. I love it under load, but too quiet at idle for my taste. Its just slightly amplified, but the under load sound is very amplified. Although, with the LM2 setup, as "amplified" as it is outside, I can easily hold a conversation in the car and I don't find myself having to turn the radio up louder to hear it before the install. I also feel the catback added a bit of butt feel down low torque. Having said all this, I want long tubes (ARH or QT with their dual elec. cutout Y). I want them for more torque feel and more sound, not only that, but my dr. side manifold has cracked at the rear bolt location, and I HATE the ticking!!!!!
Why bother replacing the manifold, when headers are preferred?

I had the Jet-Hots on the car. But the O2 sensors' heat
problems were really bugging me tuning-wise and I ended
up going to shorties, reusing the SLP Y, and Mufflex tubes
in the middle. Cats are still in the shed just in case the
Fourth Environmental Reich....
Maybe I'm the only guy to go "backward". But I don't miss
the long tubes any. Especially since the Jet-Hot Y-merge
sucked *** (even after I ground away all of the stick-in
from the lousy welding job), and I spend zero time trying
to make torque in the midband since the converter stretches
out past 5000 at full pedal, good shorties plus good Y seems
to have come out as good or better than "OK" long tubes
and a crappy Y. Of course not all shorties are good, either....
