Might work on others, including the 1987-1988 models, too, but was briefly used on a 1989 GTA 5.7L car before going to Try-Y Headers.
What's it worth? It fit, no bending or banging of body or other parts to "make" it fit.
Thick metal, and not junk. What's it worth?

Unless you have the headers that went to this y-pipe it's not worth much. It won't bolt to anything other then slp headers. Now that being said do you have any pictures of it?

I read it as being the Y-pipe that bolts to stock manifolds. SLP sold them way back when. Considering Magnaflow sells a nearly identical product, I'd probably take the Magnaflow price, subtract 50% for used condition, add 25% for SLP hype...

Put it on the classifieds.
Wait awhile; don't jump at the 1st offer. Give it a few weeks. Bump it now and then, enough to keep it on the first page or 2 but don't be an a$$ about it, so that potential buyers will have more chances to come across it.
Whatever you end up with, THAT'S what it's worth. Not one penny more or less.
My guess would be, not awholehelluvalot, UNLESS that ONE CUSTOMER happens upon it, that just REALLY wants it for whyever. Since it involves the stock manifolds it'll have to be somebody that either isn't interested in how their car actually runs but instead just wants a "famous" "brand name" part, or who doesn't have a clue. Might be the same kind of person for all I know.

Anyways, It bolted right to the factory manifolds, no issues. No leaks, no drama.
Eventually, I went to Try-Y Headers, so this was only in-place a short while. Car eventually went deep in the 12s, but it took a 383, also. Still on 245 radials.

Yeah, I'll just keep it in my basement then. Don't need the money, and it's been sitting since the summer of 1996.
Thank you for the feedback, everyone.

You can definitely see the resemblance between that SLP piece and the Dyno Don y-pipe.
