Used SLP LongTubes??? Would you guys suggest buying a set of used SLP longtubes and ory? They are in good condition, and the guy is asking for $500. Seem like a good deal?
For $500 you can get a set of coated Pacesetter's or Jet Hot's with a TSP Y-pipe brand new. Even new, most people will prefer any type of long tube header period to the SLP long tubes.
SLP's are known for there rancid clearance issues. They hang way too low, and you scrape just about everytime you go over a speedbump or angled driveway. And that's on a stock height car, lowered cars, not a chance.
Like the rest of these guys said, they hang really low.
A local guy has them on his 99 Z (stock height), and I swear they scrape on just about anything, he hates them, and, will be changing them ASAP.
If you want headers for $500, try the pacesetters with teh TSP ORY

That's some Pacesetter LT's with TSP ORY, $500.
I've been using SLP's LT's for a few years now.
When I 1st bought/installed them, the TA was stock height.
I didnt mind them sitting low at that time, I didnt really scrape much at all.
But a year later, I indeed lowered the car.
Tho I'm not scrapping as bad as some others have posted about, I wish I had gone with another set of headers. Always being careful, I'm able to avoid scrapping for the most part, but its a PITA.
I have my eye on the Kook Step headers, but will proably wait until my SLP headers have taken a beating before spending the money again on a better fitting header.

I heard the SLP LTs would gain you a little more HP than most of the other headers. Not positive if that is true though. They at least perform as good as all the others.
What is everyones thought on Pacesetters vs Jet Hots? Are they about equal?
