Re: headers?

Don't go with SLP headers, not that they don't perform, but they are more difficult to install compared to other brands. Personally I'll be going with Kook's LT's. Other people on the site always have great luck with Flowtech's.

Re: headers?

The SLP's do perform great and are good quality but they have one problem.........they have really really bad ground clearance. I'm sure somebody who has had them in the past or currently does will tell u the same. Ur gonna have to watch out for speed bumps, maybe even some potholes. If u plan on lowering the car ever in the future then i would definitely stay away from SLP's. I'm gonna have to go with 01SSRMS, i would go with Kooks, Supermaxx or anything else that is stainless, can't remember who the other stainless brands are.

Do Supermaxx headers come as a complete system like FLP's do, with the 2 offroad pipes and 2 cats. That was part of my reasoning of goin with FLP, good quality, if i'm right best performing, and they came as a complete system so i can swap my cats on/off quickly.

Re: headers?

If you want the stainless steel LT's stick with Kooks, QTP, Stainless works there might be a few other SS brands but the ones I listed people have had very good results with them. Good luck!!

Re: headers?

SLP longtubes leave horrible ground clearance, not as good power gains, and hard to install, i'd suggest kooks or qtp as well...top of the line, do it right the first time and dont to it again...thats my theory...
