I am boycotting SLP!

[CamaroSpike23]

If it were a chambered exhaust, id argue with the OP, but the fact that you are paying $400 for a couple of pipes (that granted are made to perfectly fit and come with hangar tabs welded on), a set of polished tips, and some clamps.... i dunno.

I wouldnt spend that amount of money for it.

Price is no reason to boycott something, unless they advertised one thing and gave you another for the advertised price. There are tons of exhaust available you pick the one you can afford or choose to afford and go from there. I think this post is pretty rediculous because all your doing is whining about price. I ordered the ARh headers/exhaust holy cow it was 1800 I must be getting ripped I can get similiar products much cheaper. Oh well thats their price and thats the product i wanted. Oh wait my borla mufflers were $600 and thats just an axle back system, I bet I could get a catback system cheaper from a different company.

Just have a local shop weld up some piping for you instead of bending over for SLP's price. It's gonna sound the same no matter what, and there is no "coolness factor" for paying $300 more than you should have just to have the name "SLP" on your mod list.

There are plenty of straight pipe axleback systems out there for other cars like the Mustang that cost just as much. When you buy a part like this, you are paying for support, marketing, insurance, and all the other stuff that comes with being a real business. It's that same reason your Camaro costs like $10K in actual materials, but sells for much more.

But to say your Boycotting SLP...not sure why...just don't buy that one part if you think it is overpriced.

How did you get ripped? Didn't know how much they cost when you bought them.

[Red Hot SS]

I just paid $450 by buying regular pipes

I've installed SLP products on my SS.

Personally, I think they offer a very good product(s). And their customer service is very good as well.

With NO disrespct intended; If you feel their prices are too high, and/or don't prefer their products, there are plenty of other companies to buy from.

Lets not continue down this path of bashing SLP.

If you don't care for what they have to offer, you CAN express your displeasure without making it personal.

If you knew what you were buying and how much it cost, then you didn't get ripped off. Did anybody hold you down and force you to buy them? If you thought it was too much then why did you get them.

Have you guys seen the jobs local muffler shops are doing? Its like bird poop on your exhaust. Granted, there are quality muffler shops out there, but they are going to cost as well. You are paying a premium for a premium product. If you dont want to pay premium, go on eBay and get some junk the local highschool can weld onto your $55,000 car. Is it worth the quality?

guys
if your state allows it cut the factory muffler off. run straight pip with tips out the back end. sounds nasty coming on going as well as at idle. some on this sit has already done itt and posted pics and videos on you tube. it really sounds great and drops weight of the back end. i did it with mine and love it. i can pu that money in something else now. paid 180.00 out the door for it

If you don't like the cost-benefit ratio, then don't buy the product. It's rational choice theory. Someone else will probably buy the product, and you're boycott will not work. You can't force a company to lower prices, so I recommend just letting go of the issue and finding a more suitable manufacturer for your needs.

To be 100% honest with you I didn't do enough research on the product. I heard the sound clip and asked where do i sign. I did not know there were no mufflers.

That being said I love my exhaust, and I think my tips are the best i've seen on a 'maro. I like SLP, and their products in general. Their customer service is excellent as well. I am not a basher of SLP, I just think in this particular case I was a victim of my own ignorance and got ripped for some mandrel-bent piping.
