i dont know if i should buy these slp headers with the y-pipe and high flow cat i have always loved the slp brand these headers are jet hot coated if i do get them they will be going in my 1986 trans-am with a 1989 350 tpi i need some people's input to help me make the decision and he is giving me a good price on the whole thing here are the pics and let me know a.s.a.p.

 

If you dont someone else will and in a hurry..

 

I have dibs on these headers but still doing some much needed research on these before I buy em..my goal is to if I buy them enjoy them for a bit and then sell them and get the slp tri-y

 

id like to have them.

 

@ zenish that's the truth truth

 

You should absolutely NOT buy them, but you should PM me with where to buy them.

 

Yes get em. Just be aware of the problems with them which are small. For one alot of people have issues with the steering shaft. I did too. I had to take it off and then reinstall it once the driver was in and even then I had to cut off the plastic cover from it. That was pretty much all that was needed but keep in mind I had new motor mounts.

They are a great set of headers, I would of stayed with them but longtubes were the way to go for my setup.

 

I have them on my car and love them, no fitment issues. They are tight, but right.

 

@jason89rs maybe in another time and place I would but im gona buy them

 

@carlos773 yeah thats true I recently sold a pair pacesetter headers with y-pipe I had to take of the steering shaft no biggie and slightly move the brake line to get them to fit but the exstention piece would not fit right I think it was the poor design of the pacesetter they were somewhat rare and no longer made but I just found these slp for sale but I really wanted the slp tri y but these are just as good I will buy the slp tri y some time in the future

 

I have had the SLP 1 3/4 header set on my car for the last ten years. Too bad they don't make them anymore, better then that other crap that is out there.

 

Dyno Dons are basically a improved design of these. Good price too for the whole setup. Even comes coated. Hit him up if you want the slps but with a better design.

 

@djp87z28 thats what I like to hear about these slp that they will last and overall good feedback from people who still have them

 

@carlos773 you are right about dyno don headers but the fact is they are not smog legal

 

Well all I can say is the Slp headers with there y-pipe and slip fit conector to the 3'" in & out Catco hi-flow cat to the SLP 3" exhaust with the 2 OTL pipes worked for me. All SS components and a great souding system on my car.

 

what did they come off of

 

Dyno Don sells em with Air system as well, they seem to be passing the sniffer test fine down there in Cali.

Still this thread is about the Slps. Very good headers even more if you get a good deal on them.

 

@ninetyone they are off a ' 88 gta

 

@carlos773 I didnt know he made them with air tubes now thats a thought hhmm I will send him a message about that but I know I would need top dollar for his headers I know they are good but right now I can afford these slp its a good price I'm getting them at to even pass on the offer

 

I would go for them because they sounded really good on my brother's 91 Formula along with the 2OTL SLP catback. Only thing is, the air pipes on them look questionable. They don't look like they would be for an F-body. An F-body has the air pipes curve back toward the driver on the driver's side and then the passenger side header is supposed to have an air pipe inlet that point toward the front of the car isn't it? That is how most of them are that i have seen. Find out if those headers came off of a Monte Carlo SS or a G-body car first. Cause I would definatly go for headers with the air.

 

Those are correct F-body headers. there are 2 diff typs of air tubes 4 each of them. SLP had adapters in their install kits.
I have have/had several sets of each the 1 3/4" and 1 5/8" try Ys.

Here is a dirty Little secret..
SLP used the same size tubing 4 both headers and the Y pipes are 2"1/2 OD if they are lucky. I have measured a few sets of each...
SLP stuff is good but they (like all headers) have some issues. Air tubes crack, hard to line up to bolt on(1 piece flange would fix it) ect ect..

Im thinking Dyno Dons may be the new way to go for headers and Ypipe.

 

What about price tho? I mean i got my headers and ypipe used for $150. It pays to shop around. Isn't that the purpose?modify the car the most cost effective way?

 

If thats the case then you have a budget car. If you want the best quality/performance then paying top dollar is what is required sometimes. Like my neighbor says Half-Assed= Half Fast.

Nothing wrong with buying used parts or going with the budget way, just saying saving up in the end is worth it.

 

Yes, it is a budget car. I would say I haven't even put $400 into it total and I am in LT1 territory.

 

I mean, you can do things like send your cam off to a regrind shop and they can make you a roller cam for $75. It's things like that. Plus doing the work myself. Craigslist has been good to me. I just did my research.

 

@ ttop350 you are lucky to have had all 3 slp headers I'm on the budget also but rarity is worth it that is my goal with my car so far so good and these headers will add one more to my list to check off on rarity for my ws6

 

good news i sent them the money order last week they received it they deposit the money order to their bank and just waiting for it to clear they said by friday it should be good and then they will send me the parts

 

good to hear! Ive had my 1st set since 92 and still have them!!
good luck and enjoy!

 

Thanks I hope it sounds aggressive with the magnaflow muffler
