SLP going bye bye - UPDATED in post 39!

You guys looking for some boltons you might want to see if they have any sales. SLP has been sold to a parts giant and some Americans will be loosing their jobs too and that sucks.

Wow. Roush? This could be interesting...

How are the parts being sold off? Can someone post up the email/newsletter announce? I'm looking to get a Loudmouth exhaust for a LS1 Camaro.

I'm actually surprised this didn't happen sooner. When GM killed the Camaro, I was certain after a few years the demand would drop off for their products but since the 98-02 fbody still to this day has a huge following, I'm glad it didn't for I just got back into the fbodies myself and was happy that I could still get many of their bolt-ons.

I will say this however I also have a Mustang and am a HUGE fan of Roush and I use many of their bolt-ons so merging the two will only make them stronger for the current Mustang and Camaro. I know I am in the market for a new Mustang and am looking hard at the S3 model from Roush. It is a killer car.

I wonder if the price on some of the slp products will drop. Maybe we're looking at a rouschcharger for the lsx?
