Default SLP LONG TUBES??????

HAS ANYONE SHELLED OUT OVER A GRAND FOR THE SLP LONG TUBES AND OFF ROAD Y? DID YOU REALLY GET EVEN CLOSE TO 41 RWHP AND 56 FT#S OF TORQUE? SLP MUST HAVE GOT THOSE NUMBERS FROM A 427 WITH A BLOWER, OR IS IT TRUE POWER FOR AVERAGE CARS?

You really won't see huge gains with headers unless you get tunning along with it. Although I still don't think you would see the kind of numbers SLP advertises even with tuning.
