ordered SLP exhaust today!

they told me two weeks... got their 1 5/8" headers with a power flo catback (two exit on the left). i have to order a cat from summit tommorow, but otherwise it's all good! i can't wait for the stuff to get here so i can get it on the car.

the guy i talked to (joey) said it sounds nice and muscular around town, and it roars when you get on the throttle. otherwise it's docile (but muscular ) at highway and around town speeds with low interior noise... haha. i'm sure you guys already know this, but i'm just eager to get mine installed :P

When you get your exhaust sand and polish the
two exhaust peices before you install. They
come as a just rolled mill finsh. The SS will look real good after you work on them.

Do you have the p/n of the Catco Cat you will need?
Try p/n cto-9118. Good luck, mine sounds great,

Yeah polish them before you put them on. I did it after and its much easier to do it with them off.

They told me 2 weeks when I ordered mine and I got them 4 days later, but I live like 35 miles away from the building.

And Joey is right about the sounds, just go to the sounds section on this site and listen to mine.

simply stunning...

i just checked in summits online catalogue for that cat (somebody else gave me the part # too, thanks tho) and the catalogue says it's no longer available and to call for 'alternative parts.' i guess i'll be calling them tommorow... ???

i hope i can find something to match up, because i already ordered all the hardware from SLP...

oh well. i called summit the next day after looking through their catalogue and they had the cats in stock again so i've got that coming to me too... can't wait. do wish i would've gotten in on the GP though... would've saved $100. live and learn.

ya, I don't know where the GP board went, but the guy had an ongoing GP so every time he got 6 people he would place an order...

Here is the link
