used from Thirdgen.org, Ebay, etc.
Are you dead set on SLP, cause there are other brands that are comprobable. I think there was a dude on thirdgen.org making a set of SLP clones. You can check into that.

yes, look up dyno don on 3rd gen, he makes a superior set of headers, they fit a million times better and he has the best y-pipe setup out there.
SLP's fit like **** and you cant get to the plugs with certain heads
, and the y-pipe is only 2.25", and doesnt fit the best.

I have a set of Dyno Dons and they are great. They fit well and seem to be really high quality. I originally wanted the SLP one but they have been discontinued and its really hard to find a set.

i have the slp's and i hate them. they hit the steering shaft, brake lines, 2 spark plugs, y-pipe didnt clear the pan, the flanges were warped so bad when they were brand new that i had to grind them flat to get them to seal. good thing they are discontinued

The only problem I had with the Dyno Don's set was the y-pipe being to close to the body. After I looked at it for a while I realized it was not the y-pipe but the poly Engine mounts I had. They made the engine sit to high. So I out a set of stock mounts in and all was good.

i also have a set of Dyno-Don's headers (hes from thirdgen). I used to run the EDELBROCK TES headers, but when i removed the AIR syste i got the DynoDons. I love them. He does make them, thats odd that he told you to buy pacesetters, because he does build them . i had to buy a set of gaskets and bolts but that was no problem. his headers can come with the y pipe or without, but i eally like his y-pipe. it will not match up with the stock cat tho, so i got a magnaflow spun cat and had it welded right up there. as mentioned above the slp's are discontinued.
also: if u want to see waht they look like and what is included...i have a bunch of photos about 1/2 way down the page on my website of the headers and installation..

Ok did he say that becuase he's not making them anymore or is he too busy to take on another order?

yea im looking for some decent headers and ypipe. From what i understand you have to have 1-3/8 if you really wanna go over 300hp so thats whats im looking for.

I think you mean 1 5/8"?
Anyway, there is no one "best header" out there, it all depends on your setup and goals.

blah i mean 1 3/4"
taken from thirdgen.org
"The others are all 1 5/8". If you plan on making more than 300 HP to the rear wheels, the 1 3/4" are what you want."

Well, it's certainly not impossible to make more than 300 hp to the wheels with only 1 5/8 primaries, but the optimal header will depend on your car and engine setup.
I have a set of Hooker long tubes with 1 3/4" primaries and 3" collectors for sale if you are interested....
