Default Slp Or Hooker??

Ok I Have A Chance To Get Slp Lt With The Y And Removable Cats.. For Pretty Cheep.. Considering What They Retail For..

But My Car Has The Sport Line Drop Kit. And Its Pretty Low
Iam Runing Mac Mid Lenght Now.. No Prob With The Drop..
But I Am Hearing That Slp's Hang 2 Low.. And Aren't As Good.. As They Schould Be For The Price.

Schould I Wait And Get Hooker Lt And Off Road Y.. I Heard They Are Just As Good And Alot Cheeper..??

Just Want To Make Schure If Slp Lt Is The Way To Go Or Not..??

Thanks

if your lowered forget about the slp's unless you like fucked up collectors from scrapping. if your gonna be spending 700+ for LT's then look at kooks or qtp stainless steel.

i run jets hots which are the same as hookers for the most part and although im not lowered i have plenty of room if i want to. its my y-pipe that hangs low. what i suggest is to get any other LT brand but slp's and go with a custom Y-pipe to build it around your car being lowered. that way you'll be sure of any clearance issues.

in the grand scheme of things it doesnt really matter. as long as you dont get slp's you'll be fine.

kooks, qtp, jet hot, hookers, flp, pacesetters are all fine. if your on a budget i suggest the pacesetters, there 339 coated from TSP. you can usually pick up some jet hots too for just over 500.

most likely slp marketing. and i believe they were one of the first LT's on the market, since then there are alot better alternatives to justify the slp price. for the most part a LT is a LT is a LT. if you have one brand you'll gain minimal hp from switching to another brand. some claim going from hooker or jet hots to kooks or qtp there is a gain but its not enough for me to spend the 700+ they charge. if you can afford it though they are sweet lookin headers with there stainless steel finish.
