Borla XS to SLP Resonator Delete?

[Black Market]

Looking to upgrade my muffler to a Borla XS including a SLP Resonator Delete. Question I have is does the SLP Resonator Delete extend all the way back to the Borla muffler or will my muffler shop need to weld in a pipe extension between the two?

Also I got two quotes for installing the muffler and SLP...Both were around $150. Does this sound high to those who have had it done? Seems like I've seen much lower install prices on various posts...

Lastly - thinking about doing a flat black ceramic coating on the SLP Resonator Delete. Has anyone done this or simply spray painted them? Want to go black versus the stainless.

The res delete just replaces the stock resonator in the back and does not extend back to the muffler. when I originally did mine I put in the SLP unit and then had a muffler shop weld in a Magnaflow muffler for me.

Much appreciated 07Burb! I had my ride up on a lift and the muffler sits much further forward than I expected. I would think it shouldn't be too hard for a muffler shop to fill the gap between the two or do they reuse the stock piping?

My shop just used the stock piping but it should be easy for the shop to do whatever you'd like

This is my EXACT set up!!! I just replaced the muffler with the stock one and kept the stock piping!!! I installed the SLP myself so I just paid $40 for them to replace the muffler!!! I also used high temp spray for the coating of the SLP!!!

Youʻre gonna love the sound in a few months!!! Loud but not raspy... Little to no drone.. And quieter when cruising!!!

ENJOY!!!

Very cool...I reviewed a ton of posts here about exhaust setups and this one seems popular. Cheaper than doing a full borla cat back setup too!

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

Here you go....

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...
