Slp shorty header
Those have become pretty rare to find but every once in a while a set will show up for $200-$300 but most that I see don't have a Y pipe with them. Good luck though they are a pretty good header, most people go longtubes so the market is pretty thin for shorties.
The SLP headers were designed to be "emissions legal", therefore they bolted up to the stock Y-Pipe. I bought a set of SLP "knock offs" 3-4 years ago, but never installed them......

I have the earlier single cat SLP mids and Y on my car. Found them on craigslist a few years ago for $300. They are coated stainless with zero rust but I don't drive the car in the winter.
This is the set I had. Actually have a buddy who still has a set. His are jet hot coated and from what I remember they still look good. SLP did use a different kind of stainless prone to surface rust but at least they don't rot like regular steel headers do.
The year does not matter in this sense...you said SLP headers were made to bolt to the stock Y. What I said was that they were not all like that. Your post could easily lead someone to think that all SLP headers bolt up to a stock Y. All I said was that not all of them were. Simple as that.

(look at the picture in post #3. Those "shorties" will bolt to a stock '96-'97 Y pipe)
So, everyone always says shortys are useless and a waste of money....why then would a hi performance tuner like SLP take the time to swap out manifolds for shorty headers if there were no gains to be had? Did they do it purely for sound?
SLP headers are emission legal and have to bolt to the cats in their stock location(s). So the '93-95 single cat headers include a SLP Y pipe, the '96-97 dual cat headers bolt to the stock Y/cats. The drivers side SLP header is very different between the two styles.
The 1 3/4 SLP headers (single cat version particularly) are some of the best emission legal mid length headers made. Only the AS&M mids compare. If you don't want to run long tubes then you could hardly do better than running either of those two.

The basic package included the 17" wheels and tires, the cold air hoods, different rear spoilers, and special badging. The headers, a Hurst billet shifter (for the 6 speed cars), a Quaker State synthetic fluid package, a car cover, and special floor mats were offered as additional options.
