Default SLP Headers After 9 Years and 10k Miles

Here are some pictures of my '05 C6 with the SLP ZL465 package. I was asked to show some under car shots of the headers and here they are. This car has a total of 15k miles, as the headers and the other components were installed at 5,000 miles. The SLP headers have had zero issues with regular cleaning, etc. This setup made 393 rwhp back in 2007.

With only 15k miles in 9 years, I take it he doesn't drive it at all.

.............looks great and making nice power.

The Trail 50 brought tears to my eyes. It was the first motorbike I threw my leg over (at 7 y/o) and I crashed it. I've been crashing superbikes ever since.

Thanks, I had a twin to this back in 1970, traded it for a CT70H...I found this one back in '94 by accident. It has probably less then 20 hours of riding on it.

Thanks for the compliment! I have a restoration business and access to a hoist...So I will go down to the shop and clean the undercarriage and get carried away. My wife says I have this disorder that there is no cure for!
