SLP header install problem - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

kunkelz28 · 09-28-2009, 12:06 AM

Well I put my headers on today and had some problems, first the o2 sensor after the cat was cross threaded when put in at the factory so i will need to get another one before I drive it. If that wasn't bad enough SLP didn't send the correct adapter for my mufflers. I ordered the complete headers/exhaust system from SLP but the adapter fits my muffler to a 2 1/2 but my exhaust is 3" so I am SOL. I will be calling SLP in the morning.

I did not have a problem with my SLP header install. I had to eliminate a support bracket, that was all. I do have an install video posted

When I did my header install the threads were messed up on all four sensors.I used a thread file and fixed the threads.You might want to try it....

kunkelz28 · 09-28-2009, 11:49 AM

Well I was able to buy an O2 sensor with no problem today (51 bucks). I contacted SLP and they are trying to tell me my SLP loudmouth 2 should have come with the adapters for the 3" exhaust but they didn't. I went to a few local exhaust shops this morning but none of them can make stainless steel only aluminum adapters...... I called SLP again and they are checking on it for me and were supposed to call back in 10 minutes, well its been an hour and I am still waiting....

SLP is horrible. They need to stay with floormats and key fobs. Ive stayed away because I only ever heard horror stories and overpricing. For header I will definitely wait for Hooker to make some nice LT's.

slp did my headers and ex it can out perfect right back to the 3 inch cat back sound mean and run much better thanks slp joe

I called SLP again and talked to someone who knows something and they admitted they shouldn't of sold me loudmouth 2 with the headers, they credited my credit card $200 for having to buy adapters, they offered sending me the more expensive catback (power flow) but they mentioned it might be quieter so i will just keep the loudmouth 2 and get adapters for the mufflers to fit the 3" exhaust. SLP was actually pretty good to deal with overall.

so you got parts that did not go together? why didnt you get the loudmouth I? thats the loudest of the 3

kunkelz28 · 09-29-2009, 03:42 AM

When I ordered it they told that the loudmouth 1 did not fit but they said the loudmouth 2 did fit so thats what i ordered... dumb me for listening

PatrickfromMD · 10-01-2009, 10:57 AM

The Longtubes w/ powerflow x pipe and powerflow mufflers are not overly quiet. It all bolted together and did not require any adapters (its 3 inches end to end) if it was too quiet, I can remove the loudmoughs that are installed in the x pipe and just stich with the Powerflows.
I only wish I could add something to tune out the super low rumble (drone) at idle and just off idle.
