Anyone try SLP`s? They only say in there catalog that it will work with any SLP exhaust/header/y-pipe combo but do not mention any others. <img src="images/icons/confused.gif" border="0">

DO NOT BY A BMR DRIVESHAFT LOOP FOR AN LS1 F-BODY. THEY DON"T FIT. I BOUGHT ONE AND ALL I HAVE IS A $100 PIECE OF JUNK THAT WON"T FIT WHAT BRAD SAYS IT WAS MADE FOR, however other BMR products do fit, BUT STAY AWAY FROM THE DSL, UNLESS YOU HAVE $100 TO BURN.

Why don't they fit? Get in the way of the LT's or is it something else?

I installed the Jegs driveshaft loop this weekend. It fit fine with my custom 3" Y-pipe. I did have to give the Y a whack with a hammer (little dimple), but that will in no way impede flow. <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0"> I've got Grots.

For $35 from Jegs, I can't complain. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> Part number 550-40732. I cut the outer holes of the ears off, it needed it for clearance on the driver's side.

I had the BMR on first but there just wasn't enough clearance for the SLP Y-Pipe that comes with the SLP LT Header Kit. It's a nice piece but you want to be sure it will work without your hardware banging around under you.

I did buy the SLP Loop the week it came out and it's a perfect fit for the SLP LT Header Kit.
