are flp headers as hard to install on a ls1 as slp headers ..... also do they have the same ground clearance problems as slp ??? they look like they are a similar design to slp soo i figured they would have the same problems but maybe not

I have FLP LT headers. They aren't as low as SLP LT headers. The good thing about FLP headers is you get a everything. Headers, high flow cats,ORP and Y-pipe. I don't knoe about the installation. I had mine installed. It took the expert 2 hours to install them. You can change the cats and ORP in 30 minutes.

i have heard nothing bout the flp having bad ground clearance. also from what alot of people say that the slp longtube have bad ground clearance. but some say that the slp are pretty decent headers. the flp y pipe i hear bangs the floor board. i heard the slp hang lower so that its y pipe doesnt bang at all.

The FLP Y-pipe does hit the floor board. The problem is taken care of by some exhaust wrap, a piece of red heater hose and a large aircraft clamp.
