Default Experience with SLP headers?

Does anyone have any feedback on ease of installation, fit, performance and/or numbers yet?

I love mine and have a great fit. To do headers+hiflow cats+xpipe (all slp parts) on my 98 took 9 hours.

I don't have dyno numbers yet. :mad I am trying to get a reprogram done before I dyno, but thats a long story, search on my name if interested why. Nothing related to SLP though.

I can tell you that it is definitely more power, I loose traction a lot more now than I did before :)

As for sound - I was at the Ocean City Corvette Rally and I had some guy run 2 blocks down the board walk to catch up to me. He asked me what my exhaust was and I told him SLP and he told me it was the best sounding C5 he has ever heard. :eek: For whatever thats worth and I can say I really like the setup.

I should have a dyno SOMEDAY soon. Depends on how the hell I get my PCM reprogrammed.
