Cool bro. Did you fix the position of the driver side pipe? Looks to be off a bit to the left. I had the same problem so when I loosened the clamp I had to twist the tip a bit to get it to swing into the center. I've heard alot of people having trouples with gaps and what not. just took my time and loosened up everything and it all came out perfect and still is so far.

I thought that when these SLP LMs first came out everyone said that they lost hp (3-8hp, I hope that is not that much at the wheels?), because they were too free flowing and there was no backpressure.

But this is confusing because countless people say that the stock mufflers flow so well that changing axel backs is purely for sound. So which is it???? If the stock mufflers flow so well you can't gain hp from changing them out, how can you lose hp when changing to another free flowing pipe? If you need back pressure, gained by restricting flow, how do the stock mufflers flow so good?

Or is it that the stock mufflers flow pretty well, about as good as any other muffler, but provide enough restricted flow to maintain back pressure?

Lastly, numerous people say that hp is to be gained from changing out the mid pipe (catless or catted) and headers. Isn't the hp gain due to better less restricted flow? If that's the case how can reducing the flow by changing out the mufflers to LM hurt power?

thanks guys
