Default What the f*ck are these?!!?

Ok, I bought a pair of "SLP" headers from someone on this website and I think I got ripped off.. No way these are SLP. Does anyone know what the hell these are? There are no markings of SLP anywhere or any other brand for that matter.

Those headers look nothing like slp headers. My slp headers have an slp tag on them and the tubes are bent totally different. Those look like qtp or edelbrock headers.

Look at the tubes in this pic they arent even close.

they look stainless to me being the golden shiny color and you can see the blue reflection on one of the primaries (could be wrong obviously) so that eliminates flowtechs. hookers are available in stainless though

I was thinking qtp myself. Or maybe edelbrocks race header since I dont see any egr provisions. But the pic that 2muchricemakesmesic posted they look like hookers. I think they are the hookers so I change my previous statement.

They look kinda like XS headers to me although I don't remember my passenger side one looking like yours.


edit: Just checked a pic of the XS ones and they match up.

Either way dude you got screwed being told that they were slps and those are definetly not slps. Do they have any emissions tubes on them? and yes hooker tack welds a hooker logo on their headers just as slp does.
