Come guys, there must be a few of you out there that is willing to commit to the LT's. It's a great deal and both quality and price can't be beat. Either way I'll be doing this but it would be nice to get a couple people on board to take advantage of the discount. I'm going to place my order at the end of the week and I hope a few of you hop on board.

Mid Section still for sale if anyone is interested. I'll have a sound clip soon but just need to find the time. I did take videos at the dyno yesterday but it didn't turn out very good.

BenzoBoi

for the homie!

Sunir

Can an SL55 get in on this group purchase? Looks like the LT can be the same as the e55 with a line re-routed or it may be slightly different on one of the banks. How will these be made; mocked up on another car and then shipped over?

Havoc mentioned in another LT thread that the SL55 can't run LT's - not enough room perhaps?

BenzoBoi

SL55's CAN run LT's. I personally know someone running a set right now.

Sunir

Who do you know that's running it; I'd like to talk to them and see how and whom the vendor/fabricator was...thanks.

I already discussed with URnext; looks like SL55 can do LT like I suspected having talked to a couple of fabricators.

An SL55 can run long tube headers. Supersprint long tubes can fit an SL55....

bassn_07

Okay guys we have 2 confirmed buyers but need 1 more...anyone?

Sunir I spoke with Chris and he should be giving you a call really soon. He will need a SL to build the one off. There are a few options that might be available.

Sunir

Thanks bro! it was nice talking to you...looks like hopefully I can work with Chris or Serge; I am interested in learning more about Chris' setup before committing to anything (so looking forward to his call); there is also a local fabricator on the east coast that I will do some research on as well.

bassn_07

Hopefully Chris will find some time in his busy schedule and get back to you this week. When I last spoke with him he was very busy, which is a good thing for him. I actually spoke with right after we got off the phone the last time we spoke. Keep me updated and I'll to you later.

Update: Both headers and mid section are sold!

Anyone even on the fence about long tube headers? Either way I'll be placing my order next week and this setup will be back up to $2700-$2800. This is about 15% off so lets take advantage of this opportunity.

Once again the asking price is $2400. I'm sure the more orders we get the bigger discount we could receive. Let me know because this is the last week.

bassn_07

This is going to be a daily bump until I find a third. Any questions or concerns holding anyone back from taking advantage of this opportunity?

Isn't the fastest SL in the country running long tubes?

Zod

yes from what i recall it has them, but they are custom. I also recall reading that the car had weight saving, driver seats taken out etc.

I feel if you do such things you have to state them, other wise people think you are just running it with the mods you list and that it...

Havoc

Below is the picture of URnext’s headers and exhaust. As you can see, they are not true long tube headers, but rather mid sized headers. Vadim explained that this is the longest he can make them for the SL without having clearance issues. The added benefit of their mid size is that they will produce more high end torque where we need it and less low end torque which we already have plenty of.


You are correct. In the picture below you can see how there is no room for the collector and if you manage to fit one in there you will have clearance issues. The chassis and floorboard of the SL is very different than that of the E55 which can accommodate some true long tube headers.


It depends what you call Long Tube??

Below is the picture Supersprint shows as their SL55 long tube headers; however this picture is actually headers for the E55. Their headers for the SL55 is a lot shorter and actually the same size of the first picture I posted above.


I haven't found an SL with "True" long tube headers, but if one of you guys do know of one then please pm me. Thanks!!

bassn_07

Havoc,

Chris from Floored Fab is looking for a SL to build a set of headers. He would probably need the car for a month or so to fabricate. There are many people here who would love to have the first set but not at the cost of giving their car up for that period of time. Would you be interested? It would be fully customized and if SL's can have a true LT I'm sure Chris could make it happen. PM me if interested and I could pass on his contact info.

Havoc

Thanks for the invite, but I'm already commited with Vadim.

Keep me posted as I would like to see the finished product and how he was able to fit true long tube headers.

aleksandar1099

Hey Havoc,

While I don't doubt that there are two different header systems from supersprint out there, the set i saw said "E, SL, CSL" engraved on the side.... Is that the mid length headers? They look exactly like the picture you posted....

-Aleks

Havoc

No, Supersprint does not offer two different header systems.. like long and midsized tubes. They offer just long tubes. If they look exactly like the picture I posted, then those are the long tubes which fit the E and CLS.
However, their so called long tube headers for the SL's are not true long tubes, there midsized, almost shorties. My point is that true long tubes will not fit on SL's.

Alan,


ALL SET TO GOOO

Sunir

Hovoc...who made your setup, was it Vadim as well? So I am assuming you and Sal (URnext) have the same exact setup, which is a midsize header instead of a longtube? If that's not correct can you post a pic of yours or pm me so I can see?

I was under the impression that LT's could be run on the SL55, Chris seems to believe they can. At one point VRP had "LT" headers for the SL, were these really midsizes as well? Who fabricated VRP's headers/exhasut setups...did they source them from somewhere or did they actually measure, cut, design and weld everything in house at their shop (I am assuming at Vadim's shop)?

thanks for the input bro I'm trying to learn more so I can sort this mod out and do it right the first time around....
