Default SLP LT's??????????

Im getting a good deal on a set with y-pipe. Are they a good quality header? My car is lowered 1 inch all around. Are they a good power builder?

My SLP LTs made great power and sound, but I would DEFINITELY NOT recommend them for a lowered car. My car's not lowered and I hit stuff all the time. I have a ton of SLP parts, but if I had LT's to do over again I'd pick another brand of LT's for better clearance.

i don't have them but I heard they have clearance issues with lowered cars, although since your only 1 inch you might still be okay but i know any lower than 1 inch is definately a no on the SLP LT's

Like they said no clearence. For what they cost you can go with some QTP's or Kooks. I dont own a set of SLP's but the people I know that has had them always get rid of them. I'm going with a set of QTP's as soon as the tax return comes in.

slps suck. do a search you'll find out that qtps or kooks make way more power than slp. id buy pacesetters anyday over slp. i had both jethots and pacesetters and both were good. next time though, i would go with QTPs since they lowered their price big time.
