On my old engine (97 GT 2v) yeah I did. Besides the car sounded like a beast I also felt the tq gain. With the SLP I dont know yet. Hopefully I will get the car running by Tues. night. But before I had BBK lt's, BBK o/r h-pipe, and Flowmaster cat back. Everyone always told me that the car sounded awesome. Not one person ever said anything bad about how it sounded.

Default RE: SLP X-pipe

I've asked this 100 times still haven't got a good answer. I want this same exhaust set-up: BBK LT's, SLP o/r X, Loudmouth II catback. Can someone tell me if BBK and an off-road Xpipe will fit my Auto Transmission. Anyone ever done this or know someone who put LT's on an automatic? Got any advice?

I'm pretty sure they do fit, look on summit racing for those headers and look under your application settings, it'll say if they will fit on your auto.

Yea Im going SLP with the cats, $300 is a great price for an x-pipe with the cats. Most are at least $300, and I was suprised because it was SLP. Plus I love the interchangibility.

And I would go with the SLP LT's, but THEY are way over-priced for minimal if not no performance gain compared to BBK. Plus I want the sound, I could care less about the HP/TQ for now. And an even bigger problem... SLP LT's don't fit my convertible, they are only made for coupes.

LOL, well I just contacted SLP, and the guy told me that he has no real clue whether the BBK Headers will fit their X-pipe.

He basically told me there is no garuantee and you have to take your chances. He said it could fit perfectly, or I may need a short adapter to accomidate for the length gap between the headers and the x-pipe. Nothing huge, but not what I wanted to hear.

Why would the Headers from different companies be a different length?... Dumb thats what it is. It should all be standard.
The guy said most are, but no guarantees, thats awesome...


Does anyone have this setup? BBK LT's + SLP X-pipe?

SLP is a good company but the guys dont really know all that much. They told me there headers won't fit my car. But it did. I bet the BBK and SLP will work fine but you will have to get flanges and weld them onto the SLP mid-pipe because they use clamps instead of flanges.

Yea LOL, I called SLP and the guy was very shaky. Im calling Mustangtuning tomorrow to find out what the **** is going on with my car. They will give it to me straight up.

And about that x-pipe, the cats on the SLP pipe are freakin HUGE so Im sure it hangs down a little more than stock, but if its really a problem make sure they are in the hangers properly, or just get it checked out to make sure.
