Has anyone installed an SLP LM1 setup lately?

The reason I ask is I want to know if the kit comes with aftermarket hangers (muffler location) that replaces the stock hangers. I want to know this because the only damn catback that fit my car w/o rubbing and causing leaks was the SLP LM1 kit that came on my car when I bought it. I have tried 3 different brands of catbacks and all of them rub on the body, upper control arms, AND cause leaks. I have tried many different things to get my current MAC batback to fit correctly and nothing works....

So, Does the SLP LM 1 kit come with different hangers

Can I ask why you replaced the Loudmouth?

Too loud? Hm, I imagine MAC would be pretty noisy too. But to each his own.

I know it's expensive, but I hear Steeda's exhaust is pretty similar to the stock with better flow.

Whole different kind of noisy. LM1 with O/R X is going to sound like a machine gun going off inside a tin can. MAC on the other hand is going to sound a lot deeper and a lot meaner, since its chambered.

I'd keep your current setup and get it on there as best as you can. Or order the Loudmouth catback and replace the mufflers with some Flowpaths or Flowmasters.

I had a MAC Catback on my solid, and got it to fit without rubbing or leaks. I now have an IRS in my car and again have another MAC Catback. Just have to play with it to get it just right. But I am also thinking of going the stainless steel route and getting a Magnaflow catback, and swapping the mufflers for my current setup.

To answer your question, the Slp Lm comes with the hangers already welded and you slide them the the stock rubber pieces where the stock catback was hung.

Alright, this is exactly what I was looking for. I was hoping maybe SLP included some bracket to hold the rubber hangers from and I didn't know it and left them on the car. I don't understand why nothing else will fit correctly.

I'm almost thinking about making a custom H pipe....
