Default SLP LT's

From what I read here the only gripe I see is that they hang low but I also hear that the stainless SLP's a quality LT.I'm not lowering my car so just looking for more info.

my bro has SLP's they make good power but kooks are supposed to be better in every way, so why not get the best especially if the price is just about the same. Plus your not planning to lower the car right now but what if you changed your mind in the future, cause believe me ours scrap ALL the time. Im ordering Kooks in the spring

I have seen a lot of slp headers rusted up pretty bad. Depends on where you live if rust will be an issue. I like the Kooks.

I have had my SLP's for a year and a half. I can't complain at all. Yes, they hang low; however I have never scraped mine. Mine have no rust, they are 400 series stainless that is ceramic coated. They have random cats (great cats) and looking at my sig they make good power.

Would I buy them again. Yes, at the price I paid. I got them when they were on special for $850 for the LT's and cats. For $1200 or so I would buy the Kooks. All are good products.
