Hey guys. I have a 2000 Camaro SS.

I've had SLP headers on my car for almost 10 years now... and they are almost completely gone. They were way too low to begin with but now they are just beat all to hell.

I would like to replace them with a nice set of headers, and an exhaust system I could bolt up to quiet the car down compared to the straight pipes it is running now. Something that didn't weigh a ton would be ideal but I won't be picky.

Considering I am on a budget, what would you suggest? I don't need cats. I was looking at the texas speed 1 3/4th stainless headers and their rumbler true dual setup. How would this do on a lowered car?

Thanks!

if youre looking for something that is fairly cheap and that will quiet the car down some while providing good ground clearance, i suggest you look into a magnaflow catback. My car is a HCI car with bbk headers offroad y and a magnaflow catback and there is absolutely 0 drone and its relatively quiet for what it is. Texas speed stuff is really nice but if youre looking for something that doesnt sit low, their true duals arent for you. My buddy had them on his z28 before it was lowered and scraped all the time, then he lowered his car and had to take them off immediately. Its a shame too cause they sounded so good. Whenever I was behind him I would just see sparks all the time. Our roads over here in NY suck though. Good luck.

Well sound preference is a matter of opinion, so with that in mind how much quieter do you want it?

dont TD systems tend to hang lower on these cars?

I mentioned it in another thread but IMO the best bargain for full exhaust is speed engineering headers, y pipe and a used SLP dual/dual catback. Depending on catback price (I have seen complete uncut for less than $150 and you know it will fit your car perfect as it came stock with the SS package) you can be out the door for the whole thing for not much more than the TSP headers and y by themselves.

The SE headers are as good, if not maybe better quality than the TSP headers (I have personally owned both) and they are too good of a price to pass up!

My car was making 411rwhp with the SLP headers and a true dual setup, would I lose any power going to a catback over the true duals?

I would think as long as its a properly merged y pipe any amount you would lose would be negligible.

This is about to be my exact setup once i install my speed engineering 1 7/8" headers and their y-pipe. i do have the slp dual/dual but its really quiet for my taste. I did pick it up off craigslist for $40 but Im considering throwing a magnaflow 14419 bullet on the y-pipe with a turn down to make it more exciting

Yea -- have fun with Kooks. I am a two times customer and will never go back to them for anything. Still trying to get them to fix my setup.
