What to expect from SLP LT's

First off, I already had a Loudmouth exhaust before adding the SLP LT's, and there was a noticeable improvement in tone and volume after installing the headers.

I'd estimate 20 rwhp gain...

You should expect to hit these headers on a lot speed bumps, dips in the road, etc.

Take a look at the first pic... The SLP LT's hang way low, and are definitely not for a lowered car.

I wasn't satisfied with the thick/skinny band clamps supplied by SLP, and I've got a couple of wicked exhaust leaks.

See pics 2 & 3. I can't wait to redo them with better materials. There's not much room between the O2 sensor and the cat, though. Doh! We'll see how far I can knock the exhaust back before re-clamping them.

I just got horrible tranny prying flashbacks.

Congrats on the install. They're better than no LT at all, so enjoy.
They can support a stock internal or cam only setup no problem. Anything after that, you're giving up hp/tq to other brands.

I lived with them for about 18 months and they did their duty.

Just curious if you would have any problems with the o2 being close to the cat?

I haven't had to pass emissions since I added the headers, but it has passed regualr VA inspection since. I don't see why it would be a problem there, and there's not a lot of room on the collector to put it somewhere else.
