SLP Dual Tip Tailpipe for 2008 Tahoe

[felixgun]

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.

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

...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-

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

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.

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