No, NO, NO. I put on the Spohn's. They sucked. The trick is to buy bolt in, then weld them in. Jegster's are great!

South side machine makes a very good set.

So why did they suck? I have em on my car, and they made a world of difference.
Did you weld them on the recommended way?

I have Spohn SFC's and I love them. I think I made the right choice. They are very rigid and they look great too. They will not work if you have slp header's orif you plan on getting slp header's. It took the shop 6 hours to put them on but that was only because they took a lunch. They are the best for the money in my opinion. Make sure the shop that puts them on follow's the directions. Good luck.

could someone post pics of the Spohn SFCs, the pics on the website are the most unflattering pictures I have ever seen. They make the components look poorly manufactured, and the install very sloppy. I like how they sound on paper, and would like to see how they look installed. Thanks.

These are very BIG pics though - I took my car over to Spohn's and had him weld it. Took 3 hours total ($150) and he welded it everywhere.

Some of the pics don't make sense, but they are close-ups showing clearance of my 3" slp exhaust and other things. Feel free to ask questions.

if i plan on maybe eventually gettign SLP headers which are the best?

Spohn has a version made just for the SLP y-pipe. Email him because I don't see them on his site yet but a guy in my club just ordered a set after talking to Steve on the phone.
