slp header dilema

As of right now I have the factory dual cats on there. I just bought a set of SLP 1 3/4 headers from a member on here. The y pipe that came with the headers is for single cat.
My three options:
1. Buy a high flow cat and mate the SLP's up to the single cat
2. Buy the dual cat y pipe from SLP and buy two high flow cats
3. Dont buy either, have the exhaust shop that is welding the y pipe build a custom y pipe dual cat y pipe and buy two high flow cats.


My goal for this car is an 11 second time slip.... id be happy with 11.99x

Re: slp header dilema

Hey man, what made ya change your mind about the slps? I know you sold off that one set you ran. I would stay with a single cat system. Will flow equally as well as a dual cat system + less weight, less cost, more room under the car for sfcs or whatever. How has my old 10 bolt lasted for you?

Re: slp header dilema

I needed a new rear end and you had the 10 bolt for sale. I wasnt thinking performance when I traded the SLP headers for the rear end...I was thinking of getting the car to the track. Besides, these headers look better . I didnt even run the set that I sold/traded with you. I had bought those off of 91greenbird, the guy in MD.
The bolt has lasted, but I only ran the car 4 times since your rear end. Didnt notice any acceleration difference from the 9 bolt 277 to the 10 bolt 323 from you. I have 373's ready to put in, but dont know if they would be worth the $500 shops want to charge me to install them.

Re: slp header dilema

Have an exhaust shop make you up a 2.5" dual cat y-pipe with mandrel bends. Its the best way to go. 4 cylinders flowing thru 2.5" is better than 8 cylinders flowing thru 3". The SLP y-pipe and the factory y-pipe are 2.25".

Re: slp header dilema

For what it is worth most if not all of the y-pipes for either set up are on clearance on thier website. If that helps you out any.
