But hey, if you're that dumb to buy a zip tie for $7 then you deserve to get hosed.
I agree. I still have to say, to all the people that rag on SLP, I picked up my NEW w/ warranty slp lid off ebay for 90 bucks shipped to my door, and I had it in two days and the fit was perfect.

Would that LOUDMOUTH II resonator be worth the $110? Or should I stick with a magna for 69.

Heh, the SLP panhard bar on 'clearance' there lists as:

Sale Price: $26.96
Regularly: $29.95

Shipping: $35*

* Please note that there is a shipping discount on multiple items in the same order(excludes oversized items). The shipping amount here reflects a 1 item/part purchase.

Thumbs down

SLP is a bunch of Overpriced Hype ! The only reason I got their Stuff is cause I went to SLP DAY 2 yrs ago and everything was 15% off . And I didn't know any better ! I would never buy their Parts again !

I have bought stuff from SLP and other vendors. I did get screwed for shipping from them on a CME valance ($60).

On the other hand, everything I have bought from them was top quality and packaged well. I cannot say this for every vendor.

Keep in mind they still probably still make squat on this overpriced zip tie. With the overhead of a business of that size they cannot make money selling any single item for $2.00.

If I need something they sell I do go to lmperformance.com first.
