SLP LT's This has probably been beaten to death, but I wanted some first hand stories. I can buy SLP LT's with an ory pipe for $350. I've heard a lot of bad things about these on lowered cars, but I'm on a tight budget and wanted to know just how bad it will be. I'm also buying a prokit, so that gives you an idea of how low it will be. Thanks for any input.
Well I have the 1le suspension on my car which sits a good bit lower than stock. As it is, I barely clear some speed bumbs. Ofcouse I have true duals which actually hit more than the headers. I quess it all depends on how low your spring kit will make it.I think I only have about 4.5" of clearance at the collectors of the headers. Maybe not even that much.
My SS is equipped with the Bilstein suspension...the car sits approximately 1" lower than stock...my SLPs dragged on every speed bump I attempted to cross, no matter how slow I went or what angle I approached them at...I also had difficulty going in and out of my slightly sloped driveway...

Mine is not lowered. No problams here. You gotta be carefull over speedbumps. That's it. I think the main problam are the junk shocks. The car drops when you driving off the speed bumps.
On the other hand an F-body is not an SUV you just can not roll over speed bumps at high speeds.
SLP LT's are high quality ceramic coated stainless steel headers... but if you plan to lower your car, you better look for someting else.

www.ls1sounds.com for all of your "how would this sound" question
I for one think the SLP ones are good, except for the hanging low part. If you aren't lowered, and don't plan to lower, I would look to which is cheaper..pacesetter or these. Don't forget that the SLP's are stainless steal though, which is a big plus over the pacesetters IMHO

I've read a couple threads on here talking about the pacesetters not being very good quality and to get ready to buy another set of headers in a year when PS's are rusted and done. Also, what if I wanted to go with a Borla catback instead of true duals, any way I could do this? Maybe take the cats off, would if fit up to the headers then?

If you go with the Pacesetters and their Y-pipe that is made for the header (I believe TSP makes a catted y-pipe that will bolt-on to the catback) it will work with the Borla. If you take the cats off, you would need the ORYP and the Pacesetter Y-pipe will work fine for that.
