The Xanny's made me do it!!! LOL Sorry about that all...i was actually getting sleepy in the middle of typing it..lol.
Thats what those damn xanax do to ya everytime
But long story short, haha, its a well designed CB that will work on a stock motor or a modded motor. Definately money better spent then a certain intake what will cost you almost double when its all said and done for maybe the same power increase, but only if you get it ported

Seems like there is no compelling reason to spend premium money
on SLP's new catback system. To date there is no evidence that it makes any more power than Magnaflow/Hooker/Rumbler etc.
10% GP discounts def help but I cannot justify spending nearly $700 for a hope that it might make more power than my Magnaflow c/b. I guess I'll take my money and slap the N20 back on my ride and know another 150hp is on tap.
It's funny how some companies make ya feel like you don't want to buy their product...

And you are right about how it seems that companies make ya feel like you
dont want their product....Once i heard and seen the new SLP CB i was blown away over the pricing...i mean its nice and all but damn $700 is alittle high but they still put the pricing alittle out of reach, especially knowing how bad the economy is.

I know that the Magnaflow system is nice, but 2 weeks ago i saw a camaro with
the system on it and i wasn't impressed at all. The tips kill its looks and its alittle to quiet. Thats when i saw this new SLP kit i thought it would be great, nice dual/dual tips,
dual mufflers, all t-304 steel....but $700 before the the GP is high. Other than the Borla or maybe Corsa theres not too many hi-flo stainless steel CB systems out there.

Either way the N2O will be a definite...

Damn Dennis, you really are pissed about the FAST intakes.... let it go buddy. No one is making you buy one. As for this catback, I might be more likely to buy it if it weren't made by SLP. SLP charges corvette premiums for everything including their dyno's just because they're SLP.
I like my magnaflow, and now since I've switched the tips, I've got no reason to change. I remember seeing how the magnaflow only lost 2hp vs. a cutout on a 450rwhp car by Rapid Motorsports. Seems pretty good to me and it's nice that it's quiet at idle and cruise.

Hey Bri...true that the Mag. CB has a good muffler. I've just thought about
buying just the # 14267 muffler and have it welded inplace of the stock muffler. This way i can still reuse my stock SS tailpipes which look pretty good. My only concern would be how much power i would loose by not using
the 3" piping, even thought our pipes are 2.75", not that big a difference i guess. But when i was over Tommy's he had a car there with a Mag. 3" catback and it was alot quieter than i would want. I hate the SLP cost but i like the looks and sound of the system. Still after the $630.00 GP pricing it puts in pretty close to the premium t-304 systems like borla, corsa, GMMG and the TSP dual stainless catbacks.

See, I like the quiet nature of the magnaflow. I can start the car, and cruise out of the neighborhood without too much drama. But with long tubes, off road ypipe, and heads / cam, going above 3000rpm and half throttle is pure music.
Just like you're not into engine 'beutification', I'm not into being loud just to be loud, if that was the case, I'd put an electric cutout in not for the added 2-3hp, but for the volume it would add.

i know what you mean, but the new SLP system isn't nowhere near as loud
as my borla with the medium plate in there...but with the FLP cats in place my exhaust sounded sweet...i miss that sound...to me the Mag. was way to quiet...i like to hear the beat from the cam without having to use any tricks like cutouts you know, but i noticed that when you start to up the revs. the Mag. sounds really refined...the SLP is just alittle more aggressive. But since i'm only going with a GT2-3 blower cam the SLP system wont be too obnoxious i'm guessing. But if i change to n/a i would look at other systems as well not just the SLP but i would most definately not use the Mag. ugly tips...eeek! Plus with the cam Predator-Z spec'd for me i know my car with the Vig.3200 will talk
And just so you know i'm not into loud, i just think our cars shouldn't sound like a Honda...lol. ttyl Bri.

Magnaflow ^^Man thats good to hear...i like the flow numbers of the Magnaflow CB i just hate the tips and the fact that the hangers are welded to the tips
But its hard to beat New Era's price on the Magnaflow CB...when i was thinking about going with this system i was wondering if you can use a cut-off wheel on the welds that hold the tips to the Magnaflow tailpipes. If thats the case then i can cut the welds to slide the butt ugly tips off the tailpipes and get some nice stainless tips and have them welded to the tailpipes. Cause after hearing some sound clips on LS1sounds.com the Mag. isn't overly quiet when matched with long tubes. It actually sounds pretty damn aggressive So can anyone post how they changed their Mag. tips. I know the 14267 muffler thats used in the f-body kit flows about 900cfm according to the rep. i talked to. Thats great flow. But i'm interested to see how people changed their tips..Thanks.

My Mag cb w/ 3" bullet cats is fairly loud at first start but quiets down after
it warms up...But damn those tips are ugly and even more noticeable since
my big *** tires make the rear sit higher
See for yourself

1:15 for rear sound
2:00min for revs
ugh

I hear ya about the tips..if it wasn't more them i'd own a Mag. system already.
I just hope that if i buy the Mag. and a different set of tips, do the work to have
the new tips welded on, i hope the hell the thing isn't too quiet. I mean i'm not looking for Loudmouth loud but i want to know i have a nice CB back there and i
want other cars near me to know that my car is just another off the shelf SS.lol
