very possible....just get back under the car and check any bolts you loosened, see if anything is able to contact something else, and just overall shake the livving hell out of parts. This start to become pretty aparent then.

What kind of SFC did you install, if it's the bolt-on type I can e-mail you a write up that might show something you have missed if you want.

if they're the bolt-on type make sure you weld them around the bolts as well, that ought to take out any vibration/rattle problems, and make them more stiff as well

There is no reason to weld them. I still have my SLPs bolted and with all the other mods, I am not getting any sqeeks or rattles out of them.
