Re: FLP exhaust? (Phil97SVT)
Some have said that the FLP exhaust is TPIS headers with some additional parts. Is this true and can anyone confirm it?
The setup is built that you can easy switch between straight pipe and cats.

Re: FLP exhaust? (Phil97SVT)
Just to let you all know, we are installing the first set of production LG stainless true long tubes on a 2002 Z06 today. We have finalized the removable cats, and interchangable off road pipes.
We will post pictures later. (RAT or Godspeed, stop over with your camera).
Thanks,

Michael,
Why would people suggest that the FLP gives you more HP and TQ than the TPIS? Thanks for the quick response.

Maybe the hiflo cats guve you a bit more.
I also don´t like the quality of the TPIS.
So this package is not for me.

Re: FLP exhaust? (Phil97SVT)
The headers are quite different. FLP has 3 inch collector and TPIS has only a 2 1/2 inch.
I also believe that the primary tube lengths are configured differently and are a different length.

If the headers are the same quality as my FLP tranny rebuild then they will
be TOP!!

Re: FLP exhaust? (Austrian Vette)
The FLP headers are not the same as the TPIS. I have a proto type set and the quality is outstanding. I droped 3 tenths with just the headers instaled.
Austrian Vette your car is awsome. I talked to Chuck and I'm getting one of their tranys. How do you like yours? Does the 2-3 shift solid? I now have to let off the nitrous just before the 2-3 shift or it will hit the revlimiter, set at 6800. The pic. in my sig was on an 11.10 run with a 1.68-60'. They told me the car pulled the wheels 6" on tne 10.82 1.54- 60' wish I had a pic of that run. Hope to be around 10.50's at sea level.
Good luck with the h/c/i; Ed
