I added some pics of my car with SLP LT's and ORY so you guys can see how low they really hang. Many people ask how low do they hang and will it cause a problem if the car is lowered...well click on my pics and scroll down...my car has stock ride height so it will give you a good visual...

I noticed a good gain. I will know more next weekend when I take it to test and tune and then on the 23rd, I'm getting the car dynoed. Will post #'s after that.

damn! i've never seen a picture of them like that but its rediculous! it wouldnt merely skip over somthing if it hit (like my duals), it would flat out rip off!

might want to put somthing in the title about SLP low headers so if someone does a search for the titles, will pop up




btw - does anyone else think its wierd how coke can is like the universal exhaust clearance measuring tape?
