I need advice for my 89 formula should i get the borla or slp catback

 

For starters the Borla is not a full Catback system unless you pay a arm and leg for the full one. Also reports of problems installing it on 3rd Gen car.

I have the full SLP system, 1 3/4 headers and the Catback exhaust with a Catco cat. Less expensive then the Borla and again its all STAINLESS STEEL, no rust. The Sound is great also not loud & intrusive. Also the tail pipes give it a look of something different.

Again your choice, but the SLP headers & catback may be the same price as a full Borla system.

 

any installation problems on the slp headers im trying to decide between them or the hooker super comps from jet hot

 

Nothing out of the ordinary, when you install Headers. And they are Stainless Steel so you will not need the Jet Hot. Again I vote for the all SLP system for ease of installation.

 

i recently bought slp 1 3/4 non air headers and getting them coated also.. i got the ones for dual cats.

i also got the slp catback, as for cats i am thinking just straight pipes in their place..

cant wait to get them, should be about a week from now..

 

If your State is even thinking about EMISSION TESTS, I would advise installing Catco Cats for your system. This would save yourself later headaches. These Cats would result in no lost power.

 

I have had the SLP catback on my car for 7 years now. I still love the sound more than any other exhaust for the thirdgens.

Has a deep rumble and does not drone.

 

last time i went for emissions they told me my car was too low and they gave me a wavier...

 

djp which catco cat did you use the fbody specific or a generic 3" in 3" outlet one?

 

I used the Catco that was Year & Model specific with the 3' in & out. Don't buy the cheap generic one. My opinion.

 

Just don't depend on getting a wavier everytime..

 

djp do you have a model number by any chance and where did you purchase from or know who has the best prices

 

The P/N for the Catco I purchased is CTO-9118 for $100 +S/H from
Summit. That was two years ago, just check for a better price.

 

get a Dynomax Ultra Flo, stainless....more flow/power.

SLP= 1 step up from stock
Dynomax Ultra Flo= best perfomance available.

Do a search, I posted the contents of an article about the comparisons of these two mufflers.

 

I have been running an SLP catback for 8 years now.. it is just getting replaced with a borla setup with my LT1 swap.. though I can't vouch for the sound yet I will say the Borla fit was very good, better than the SLPs..

 

I agree about Dynomax probably being the best flowing exhaust there is. I just like the sound of Flowmaster better.
