i am putting a 95 LT1 in my 92. everyone has said slp headers are great. my question is why are they so great for this application?
i also want to eliminate emissions, but the slp have the emission tubes on them. do they offer a set without that? i also wonder why slp is better because the emission tubes that are on them are positioned the wrong way. PLEASE help me i am going nuts. i want to put in my motor!

 

call SLP...I have a set of 1 5/8 from the group purchace that was going on last year without any kind of emissions tubes.

 

what ever you do dont get edelbrock's they suck a$$, i've gone to the SLP's and they were a little harder to hook up in my opinion, but they are alot better, also i dont have my smog equipment hooked up i went to my local hardware store and got a couple of metal caps the screw on were the smog equipment would have normaly gone....very quick and easy.

 

The SLP headers are rated better because they are made with stainless steel and will not rust like other headers a BIG Plus.
Also you can order the headers without the emission A.I.R. tubes.
Check their site at www.slponline.com, hope this helps.

 

How so?

 

the edelbrock ones aim the emissions to the back of the motor. the 95 LT1 stuff is on the front of the exhaust manifold. to make it work i would have to fabricate a tube to head to the back of the header and then angle back forward.

 

anyone got a part number for me?

 

I used to have TES, i changed to SLP and all I can say is SLP are better! They have much higher quality...............

/N.

 

sounds like when exhaust time comes i am buying the slp headers..

 

did you guys get the ones without A.I.R.?
part # 3000c?

 

Check with www.slponline.com and that link will tell you if you have the correct P/N and also order from there, it may be cheaper.

 

I got TES Edelbrock nickelchrome...No complain so far. and installation was very easy. And the price is just on my budget....

 

I got my TES headers about 5 years ago,have had no problems

 

well, you all have persueded me. i sent back the edelbrocks today and am going to order from slp when i am done here. thanks so much for the help. i hope this goes well, i cant wait til i bring my LT1 to life!:lala:

 

If you got the cash for it.... go for it..... Let us know how the installation goes...

 

Get Them Coated !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

YES get them coated...all of the money you lay out for stainless is for durability not looks. My SLP headers had surface rust the first week they were on the car, now after a year they are rusty looking. I will get my next set of headers coated.

 

well, after $650, they are on the way. hey will be coated, and i am very excited about them. i am supposed to get them on the 7th.
