SLP headers with high flow cats cheapest option?...
I'm looking at headers
Seems the Slp LT with cats is my cheapest option at 900.00
I was looking at DT and pacesetter but after I have the cats welded in they are more than the SLP!
Are these my only options?...
I want catalytic converters for sure but can find any other options under 1000 other than the SLPs
Just make sure if they're not stainless that you have them or buy them coated inside and out!

For any specific ones?...Originally Posted by Chewy
I heard SLP support sucks as they changer their product all the time?...
The kooks are 888 at summit but again the cost is out of my range when talking about buying/welding in converters.
I bought Kooks from Maryland Speed (cheapest out there) for 715 delivered a couple of years ago on black Friday. You get what you pay for, that's all I'm going to say.

I think I saw some Kooks mids with cats for sale recently. Can't remember where
But Maryland speed has new Kooks mids with cats for $837. I know it's not long tubes but might get you what you want

I have the SLP LTs and they have held up great over the years. Mine were stainless and coated and they are still shiny and in good shape with no rust or staining. I did gut the cats, but the shells are still installed of course.

This is just about the only option for me right now...
Kooks sound great but after you needs an X pipe and cats and your paying 2600.00
I'll take the bolt on stuff that includes the cats for 900.00
Looks mids are usually around $770-$850. Better option than SLP IMO.

2011 Radiant Silver Metallic CTS-V Wagon - Corsa Axleback, AirAid Intake *Traded 7/7/16*
2008 Panther Black Metallic G8 GT * Sold 6/10/14*
I've been looking at these and may be a good option for me.
Are the gains from long tubes that much greater or would the Kooks mids be comparable to the SLP LT or DT?
I'm trying to get a noticeable difference from a VCM, solo axle back and tune plus which ever headers I choose.
The mids are alot shorter than the SLPs and the gains are very small if you keep the factory cats.
