SLP Dual Tip Tailpipe for 2008 Tahoe

felixgun · Feb 16, 2011

So after reading all the threads I could find about a resonator delete/adding a tip, I found my best two options were the SLP Dual Tip and the Volant Super Tips and here are the cheapest places I could find online.

The SLP is only 116.96 with free shipping here:

The Volant one is almost 3 times the price at 323.45:

TWO HUNDRED dollar price difference?? Can anyone justify getting the volant one over the SLP one? The only difference I see is on the Volant one, the dual tip is welded onto the main pipe whereas the SLP one is bolt-on. NOT worth $200 extra by any means. Thoughts? I'm about to pull the trigger on the SLP Dual Tip but I need some motivation. I'm just looking to get rid of the ridiculously ugly resonator on the nnbs vehicles and something a little cleaner/better looking then stock.

nice find!!! I've been looking into this exact same thing! Subbed to get more info

Holy crap! Just get the SLP one....then since it's bolt on you can install it yourself, too.

The price of the Volant is ridiculous....I almost bought my entire catback system for the price they want just for the resonator delete! Ridiculous.....

That's the same one I've been looking at Felix.

I wonder how it's going to change the sound. :hmm:

I'm not even sure what the resonator is for other than maybe sound reduction. :shrug:

...and I couldn't find the info on the website but how long does that "sale" go on for the SLP. I notice it's about $13 less than normal.

There's a video of it on one of the threads and it sounds good. I forgot what tahoe/who put the video up, but they also had a CAI (Which I also plan on getting at the same time as this tip) so i'm sure that made it sound -just right- :Handshake:

I work in a corporate office so i'm not trying to rumble my way into the work parking lot either. Just a nice low start up sound and a cleaner look. And I don't know, when I bookmarked it a while back it was also $13 more and it's the cheapest now as i've ever seen it... might have to pull the trigger real soon.

I know! The price is absurd... i'm glad i'm not the only one that thinks that. Guy that works an office down from me has an nnbs avalanche with a whole gibson cat exhaust and paid less then that volant super tip.

So regardless of the bolt on, I think i'm gonna go with the SLP one and get it welded on at th the same local place I got my last tahoe's flowmaster muffler welded on at for like $40. well spent i'd say...

How can I get the purchase past the wifey without many questions since we haven't budgeted this in :hmm:

I have the SLP kit and love it. It is an easy install and looks really good when done. It does give you a little rumble on start up and when you get on it but when cruizing down the road it is quiet like stock.

felixgun · Feb 16, 2011

Ah good info to have. Did you get it put on before or after your CAI?

The main cost differance is 304SS vs 409SS, Its just like any exhaust system you will pay more for 304 but it will not yellow or rust like 409. The 323 is why were no longer making exhaust systems times are tuff and people are not spending money like they use to so instead of running a cheaper product were putting exhaust on hold for a while. If you are just looking for a res delete I would head to a local muffler shop and just get a nice set of tips and a small pipe put in around here you can get it done for 50 bucks. just my .02

The SLP would be nice cause then I guess you could run any exhaust tip you wanted.

k9lovr · Feb 16, 2011

Just ordered this...Have been on the fence as well and the thread helped me make the choice....

07Burb · Feb 16, 2011

Thanks for the pics Dave! That looks great :waytogo:

Also, thanks for the insight Volant. I was actually thinking about this tonight and thinking along the same lines as you where you could create your own thing even cheaper than the SLP unit for almost nothing. If you know how to weld you could do it even cheaper than the $50 you said just by going to your local parts store, getting a little bit of pipe, and a tip and you can accomplish the same effect. Obviously, though, if someone was to crawl under your vehicle they'd notice that it wasn't an SLP or Volant product but rather a driveway job but how many people crawl under your vehicle to check that out?? :shrug:

I have the SLP as well and actually got my dad to by one as well for his 10 tahoe. Really easy install only took maybe half hour or less. Like Jeremy said had a little more rumble at start and does have a little more noise from the exhaust when cruising but not much. I put that on before the magnaflow. Def looks a lot better and well worth the price.

Sweet thanks for replying. Yea I was thinking it was kind of cheap too.. a little too cheap. But at the same time, I wouldn't want to waste that kind of money just for nothing. That's pretty much why I started this thread to get responses from people and to see if it was worth buying... and you bought two! looks like this is my next mod... :Handshake:

So are you saying there is a chance that the SLP one will yellow or rust?
