Borla XS to SLP Resonator Delete?

[wardvette]

If you're going to take it to a shop for welding and also don't like the SLP tips out of the box, I don't know that I would even get the SLP resonator delete. By the time you pay $90 for the kit, then extra for powder coating and welding, it would probably be easier and cheaper to just ask the shop to weld in the muffler, remove the resonator, and install a black tip.

The benefit of the SLP kit is you can install it yourself in the driveway in 30 minutes (I did it in 20 minutes with a recip. saw).

X2. I get a lot of compliments on how nice the sound of the exhaust is now too. I just did the SLP resonator deleate.

I don't know about high temp paint. But I had a tip powder coated and it didn't last a week before the edges started peeling. I wouldn't recommend powder coating exhaust parts.
Go ceramic if you must coat it.

I used some Eastwood Undercarriage Chassis primer followed by a few coast of VHT (Very High Temperature) flameproof heat coating spray paint on my SLP Resonator Delete. After 1 week no issues whatsoever...Much cheaper than a ceramic coat.

Looks good I was just warning about powder

Looks great man!

A suggestion though you could loosen the clamp and turn it so the bolt is on top so it is more hidden

Been meaning to get under there and move the bolt so it's outta site...and hit the clamp with some VHT paint!

how has the paint held up on those exhaust tips?

 

[Black Market]

The paint has held up on the tips themselves great...however not so good on the pipe leading up to the tips. I assume the pipe gets warmer than the tips and I probably could have done a better job prepping the metal before I painted. I may just get it ceramic coated and be done with it...
