Re: SLP tri-y headers ???

Do they also have the correct Y pipe for them? AIR tubes on them or do you need/want them?
Really depends on how complete they are.

Yep, air tubes and correct y pipe. I don't really need them myself right now, but figure they'd be nice to have sitting on a shelf. Anybody know how they compare performance wise to the standard shorty headers?

Do you know if they are 1 5/8s or 1 3/4? (if they are 1 piece flange I may be interested in the headers)

They are some of the better headers made.

Grab them! They will provide more TQ than shorties but are still emissions legal in all states, unlike full length headers.

OK, so unfortunately they're the 1 5/8, bummer. However, he has the cat-back to go with it! I'm gonna grab everything. Hopefully I can get there before somebody else does!

I know of two local sales of tri ys with y pipe at $650 for a driver quality set then $800 for a set that was super nice a few years back just to give you a number

Re: SLP tri-y headers ???

When did SLP offer 1-3/4" tri-y's? My old catalogs only list 1-5/8" primaries.

When I ordered my tri-y's (1-5/8") many moons ago, SLP's catalog listed both 49-state and CA versions. I called SLP and asked them what the difference was between the two. CA versions were wrapped. I ordered the 49-state versions because at the time I lived in a county that did not require emissions testing. That and $200 upcharge for header wrap seemed silly at the time.

FWIW the bare, 49-state versions did pass CA testing on my vehicle. YMMV.

Re: SLP tri-y headers ???

Interesting. I have never heard the header wrap/CA thing before.

I wonder if any of the Firehawks were ordered by a CA dealer and delivered thru a CA dealer? My old #003 went thru a dealership just over the NV border from CA for the original owner that lived in CA. Car was of course CA registered and smogged no problem up to about 2003 I think when it left CA. But yeah like you said, CA doesn't care if they are wrapped or not in real life, same for the tri-ys on my GTA. They just care about the CARB sticker on the door.

Too bad I've had to sell of all my old SLP catalogs and GM Performance catalogs, I can't even try to reference anything on this matter :/

Anyone have a picture of SLP wrapped 50 state CA Tri-Ys?

Re: SLP tri-y headers ???

I have a pic or 2 of a 92 Hawk w wrapped headers.
One of them is 008 iirc.
25 and I think 26 had a jethot coating on the headers but not the air tubes, not sure on the Y pipe.
