Ok great to see we still have interested, let’s get this going!

I will post payment info a little bit later today as I get everything put together.

I should have some better pictures in the next few days; I apologize for the low quality imagines so far. You are going to have to trust me with out professional pictures; I am just trying to keep this moving. If you do a search you will see we have an excellent reputation for quality.

Here are some answers to the questions...

Yes the price includes what is shown in the pictures, which is all bracing making this a 3-point or "Diamond Style" SFC. The bolt-in style requires no cutting and bolts right in. The weld-in style looks identical except does not include hardware to be bolted in and saves a few dollars.

Chrome Moly- On the Chrome Moly version all tubing will be supplied in 4130 Chrome Moly and TIG welded. A set in Chrome Moly will weigh approx. 9 pounds lighter then the mild version, the extra cost for Chrome Moly on this set-up is $115.00. Price increase is do to material cost as well as the welding procedure.

Ground Clearance- We have built these with ground clearance as a major concern. Our connectors tuck up as tight as possible and there is no way to make a 3-point connector tuck up any tighter. If you want a 3-point design you must sacrifice a little clearance. Our bracing runs the height of a stock y-pipe and higher then most long tube header/y-pipe set ups.

Keep the questions coming and I am glad to answer them, I will have payment info posted soon.

Regards,
Ryan

What is the difference between the bolt-on and weld-in? Just mounting holes? In other words, can I buy bolt-ons and weld them in later for the same effect if I choose to?

Also, what is the actual weight of the SFC's? I know you said the difference between CM and MS would be 9 lbs, but I'd like to know the actual number.

Thanks!

How are these going to compare to a standard boxed sfc and the SLP sfc as far as rigidity?

BigE- The bolt on set-up is identical as the weld-in but includes all necessary hardware and pieces to bolt these in. For weight our mild steel version will weigh around 34lbs a set and the Chrome Moly at 25lbs a set.

Muffracing- Our set-up has its own unique design, the quality of these is guaranteed. They bolt or weld into major chassis points, the main connector uses 1.750" x 0.120" DOM tubing while the cross braces use 1.250" x 0.095" DOM tubing. The rear and center mounting points use 0.188" thick mounting points while the front mounts use 0.250" steel.

Hope that helps!

Ryan,
You state that the cross brace hooking both left and right sfc come with them. You also state that the brace tucks above the stock Y pipe. Looking at the pics, it looks like the cross brace sits lower than the Y pipe.
1. How thick is the cross brace?
2. How much room is there between the stock Y pipe and the cross brace?
3. Are there any noises from the Y pipe banging on this brace?

Thanks,
Chris

Hello Chris,

Sorry I think I mis-understood the early question, that cross-brace is NOT included with the SFC's. If you look closely at that brace it is actually an unpainted torque arm we have been trying out, so please disregard my last my last post.

As for height, like I mentioned earlier we are as tight to the floor as possible and it would be almost impossible to make a 3-point connector not lose any ground clearance, we have kept it to as minimal as possible. The Y-pipe shown in the picture is not a stock Y-pipe but a Kooks set-up which tucks up extremely well.

Hope that helps!

Yes we can ship COD, However there is a $8.00 COD charge that UPS charges. So we can just add $8.00 to the total.

Let me know, I am going to be getting a list ready soon along with a new post to start purchasing.

Derek,

Sounds good. The bolt-ins are $249 a set shipped and the Weld-ins are are $229 shipped plus the $8.00 COD charge and we are shipping in 2 weeks. If you get a chance check out the thread below for more info, that is the actual GP thread. I think we only need 1 more to get this going!

Thank you!
