SLP headers: do they really make LESS power?
SLP headers: do they really make LESS power? I know the SLPs have clearance issues, but I got a killer deal on them and couldn't pass them up. I'm putting skid plates on them so I should be fine. But do they make LESS power? I'm just making sure that I'm not at a disadvantage.
They do make some ugly turns, and have a short collector. I've heard of people making more power when swapping out the SLP's for something else, but don't know how legitimate this is. They don't look to be all that well designed, but I honestly couldn't see a BIG power difference between any of the headers.

Verdad Gallardo People don't buy them because of GC and the Y-pipe. The merge and bends in the Y suck IMO. I have a set of SLPs with a custom Y with flowmaster merge. I like them. Instal was a bitch and they fit pretty tight but no banging or anything. Plus all stainless and I got a killer deal.
Thanks for the replies guys just making sure I wasn't going to regret installing them
And I highly doubt its anything like putting a procharger on a car Transam_00 but thanks for your valuable opinion

i just got slp lt on my 01ss they make great power and sound (ory). I did the reasearch and knew about the clearance issues but never thought they would be that bad, if your car is a daily driver i suggest STAYING AWAY from slp, just too much of a pain, anything over a small and i mean small speed bump your gonna have to take it at a huge angle and then your still gonna rub, ive had mine for a couple of months and i am already saving to get a set of kooks or qtp like everyone here says to get, and yeah BADSZ28 i totally agree very poor designing
