SLP Loudmouth install problems

06GTO60 · 03-04-2008, 09:18 PM

I recently bought the SLP Loudmouth 1 cat-back system. They sound awesome by any means.... however it seems like a trained monkey designed the bends for the pipes

! I had problems with both the driver and passenger sides fitting correctly. The driver side was rubbing against the drive line and the passenger side was rubbing against the axle. When I bought it I thought I was getting a one piece set up with everything welded... nope its all held together by clamps... yeah exhaust leaks at every one

!!! So tomorrow I'm going down to a local muffler shop so they can fix this hassle! Even with all this I still love the sound... its loud as hell

!!! I did some research before my purchase but didn't read anyone having these problems until afterwards! Like I said its a great exhaust... just takes a little extra! I hope this helps anyone looking for their new exhaust!

What a hassle-especially when the installation is supposed to be fairly easy.
At least you like the sound and once the leaks are buttoned down, she'll sound even better. Still worth it!

Yeah I remember, but that was after I bought it... I just wanted to write about it so people would know before they bought it! I also had more problems than just the passenger side! All in all I got it fixed and it looks great and sounds absolutly awesome! However I was thinking that I might replace the X-pipe with a H-pipe... these GTOs should sound more like old school muscle than European sports cars! Quick fix no biggy! I still appreaciate your info... because otherwise I would have been extremely furious about the whole deal!

Cool - just glad you are happy with the set-up, that's all that counts!!! When the coin is "in" get the SLP LT's. I'll post a Vid of my Goat with sound, it's a Bully and very old school...

At least you didn't go with Stainless Works..3" all clamped. Catback has 13 pieces including tips. Headers have 8 pieces including cats. It was an alignment nightmare, especially since they didn't slice the pipe correctly for the band clamps.
