SLP 1 5/8" SS headers

As the title says, with y-pipe cut for packaging, asking $125 plus shipping. Note, an air tube on the passenger side is broken and will have to be welded to keep from leaking. I can weld it if needed but it won't look pretty.



Small dent on passenger side.

I'm replying to everyone by PM... just keep in mind that this is a huge box even with the y-pipe cut in half.

Re: SLP 1 5/8" SS headers

Since there have been a few questions about the headers and y-pipe here is more info. Not sure why I didn't post this the in the first place...


The y-pipe is set up for a single cat but would have to be cut to fit since I had a straight pipe instead.

I don't have a part number for the headers since I didn't buy them new. The full story is that SLP had a fire in their factory and someone bought pallets of parts that were coated in soot and other garbage. I bought one of the sets from him and had them sand blasted, then had the y-pipe made of steel... I never had the SLP stainless y-pipe.

Speaking of the y-pipe, it wouldn't line up right with the collectors when I did a motor swap (Dart Iron Eagle heads). That's why there is a collar welded where the driver side goes in front of the oil pan. So the y-pipe may need some work to fit your combination. If you don't have a welder, you could grind off the collar and use a stainless band clamp to put the y-pipe back together... you'll need to do the same back further (where the y-pipe gets close to the pinch weld, in front of the cat) since I cut the y-pipe to fit it in a box.

Re: SLP 1 5/8" SS headers

Looks like a good deal for someone. Mine look just like these but ceramic coated and I have the SLP y pipe.

Re: SLP 1 5/8" SS headers

$71 going to 88101 by FedEx

FYI, for those of you who are curious... it's a 44 pound box that measures 40" x 20" x 12" and I'm shipping it from 07847. UPS costs more than FedEx, and I'm putting in a dollar value of $100.

Re: SLP 1 5/8" SS headers

Would you sell just the headers? Toss the y pipe if you want.

Re: SLP 1 5/8" SS headers

Sure, I'll sell just the headers. I'll even cut the flanges off the y-pip so it will be easier to make your own. What zip code?

Re: SLP 1 5/8" SS headers

For those of you interested here are the box dimensions and weights, it will be shipped from 07847:

With y-pipe, 44 pound box that measures 40" x 20" x 12"
Without y-pipe, 20 pound box that measures 21" x 23" x 11"

Please use the UPS or FedEx websites to figure out shipping costs. I don't mean to sound like a dick but I've wasted more time repeatedly punching numbers into both websites just to have people back out due to the shipping cost.

The y-pipe is 2.25" at the collector to 3" at the cat-back.

Re: SLP 1 5/8" SS headers

Please drop me a PM if the headers haven't been sold. What will it take to weld the leaky smog tube?

Fire up the tig welder and weld it. Not hard, have fixed many of them.

Is this type of failure common to SLP headers or all smog headers? Is stress cracking or something else the cause?

Re: SLP 1 5/8" SS headers

Its just the A.I.R. tube where it goes into the header tube. Its probably more common on SS headers when they have 3 separate flanges instead of one flange to bolt it to the head.
Just a expansion contraction thing.

Thanks for the info, always trying to learn what to expect with a third-gen.

Re: SLP 1 5/8" SS headers

I've used a MIG welder on stainless before, but like I said it won't be pretty.

They're still available.
