SFC weight difference (Boxed vs Tubular)
I have some dual cat boxed SFCs made by SPohn. I have yet to put them on.
What is the weight difference b/w the boxed and the tubular?
I may be interested in getting the tubular for the weight advantage...and sale my boxed ones.

Are your boxed ones stronger than your tubular?
