Default Header clearance with SLP sfc's....

Definitely getting a set of SLP sfc's. Possibly getting a set of LT's down the road. Do most headers still clear these sfc's or are there issues with some makes?

Thanks.

I'm not sure about other manufacturers, but my Kooks headers cleared my SLPs just fine. Pic below:



Passenger side won't be an issue...if you have problems with any header, it will be on the drivers side.

What sort of y-pipe are you running? I definitely need a catted y....

Also, I may be mistaken, but I thought the SLP's tied together somewhere in the center, no?

They don't touch each other, they bolt in where the black tunnel brace was(it is not in the pic). I have spectacle solutions boxed SFC's which are the same thing as the SLP ones. You have to remove the tunnel brace in order to put in LT's or the Y pipe will not work. I have FLP LT's and they fit great with the Boxed diamond SFC's. Wasn't as easy to get a simple fit when the Lt's were installed. I took it to a shop and had them tweak the catback and Y to clear everything and make sure there were no rubbing or banging isses and decided to remove all the clamps and weld all the pieces from the cats back.

That ain't no y-pipe 'Tis an off-road x-pipe. I have also run a Kooks catted-y with this setup, and I had to bend the tab on the driver's side cat to keep it from contacting the subframe...nothing that a torch couldn't take care of.

And they tie in where it looks like everything ties in...the tunnel brace is gone in that pic because the stock one was a POS, and so was the BMR replacement.
