I had SLP LT's and they made good power but when I seen back to back dyno test vs. Kooks I was sold on a set of kooks. My SLP's are collecting dust in the corner till I figure out if I'm gonna sell them or save them for another build

Don't forget my LS6 intake/SLP LT to FAST90/QTP HVMC swap which gained 35rwhp!

Edelbrock LT's also use a merge collector as well. Also from the latest fitment threads about QTP's headers, I think I would stay away from them.

That would be me and Mine look like ****. They have surface rust all over them and it just looks like ***. They looked so nice when I put them in and now......I am thinking about changing them out but I would only do it if I knew for sure it would make more power. I have seen reports here where someone switched to Kooks and gained power, and also seen the same swap and LOST power.

DJ- All QTP headers now have the high velocity merge collectors at the standard price. That would be my choice considering the price is similar to Kooks.

Hooker makes a nice header. It's available in bright polished stainless and my un-coated Hookers (for the time being) have made some pretty good power and you know how they tuck... a lil' too close.


You have the second set of SLP's I've seen that were rusted. There was another guy at commerce that looked similar.

You can always put some Krylon on those SLP's.
