Fitting SLP PowerFlo on an LS4 GXP I know the SLP PowerFlo was designed for a 3800 Grand Prix. What does it take to run it on an LS4 Grand Prix? I've seen it run on an MC SS LS4, so I know it can be done.
Any advice is appreciated...I don't wanna spend the money for a Magnaflow and have had good luck with other SLP exhausts...

Some say it is just missing a welded bracket on the passenger side before the wheel,it should fit regardless as others have used it. I always liked the sound of SLP, good quality too.

There is also this that others have used , add your choice of mufflers and tips and build your own.

Thanks...my only concern is on LS4 Nation on FB a member has one on his MC SS, and it was a few inches too short...he got extra pipe to add between mufflers and tips.
Just not sure how that translates to a GXP

LOL you noticed? Yeah...after 15.5 years of ownership, she's gone 
When I bought the GXP to replace the V as my DD, 3 toys just didn't make sense anymore. I will never part with my SS, so the Z28 had to go.
I already miss the exhaust...sold the car for $8k cash a week ago. Not bad money for an 83k LT1 t-top car, but it was in the same shape as when it had 40k back in 2001 when I bought it. It was pristine....

Those 97's hold their value, not everyone wants an LS car. 2OTL probably sealed the deal. I had a couple LT1 Formulas, not real fun to work on that motor with the opticrap, but they ran hard! I had a few cars I wish never got away, the GXP wont be in that category. I like it, but to me its just a driver even though its in very nice condition.

The buyer didn't even know what the exhaust was as far as I know. Mine still had the original Opti...was starting to have a very small skip over 5k. My GXP is going to be a runner. I will enjoy it, but I won't keep it. It will be a 25k/yr daily driver for the next 5 years while I pay off the V. After that, if its in good shape due to FL weather, I'll keep running it and buy another toy. If not, it'll get traded for a 392 Charger to DD. I wish GXPs had a nicer interior....but it'll do as a runner. Its getting a new stereo in the coming months. I've put 5k on it in 2 months...this stereo isn't gonna work for me!

Ended up ordering the ZZP DP and LS4 specific catback on the Black Friday special just now...$710 shipped. Can't argue with that...we'll see how it sounds. If it drones a lot, I'll just have to turn up the damn radio...
