the negative comments I have seen about the SLP long tubes deal with the fact they hang down to low and get bent up over time. Gutting the cats is one way of improving the exhaust flow, but it does increase the noise level.

I have never scraped mine or hit my steep driveway curb/gutter. They do sit low and you can see them from the side if you stand back far enough. That is the only part about them I don't like.

I loved mine. The merge pipe is just a bit smaller on the SLP's IIRC. With that much going through, I'd feel better with Kook's or ARH.

I have had now problem with my slp headers, alot of people complain about them but, the only thing for me was they were a pita to install. Other then that I love them.
