It's getting to be about that time. I'm on the lookout for some SFC's for the IROC. I've sifted through a ton of posts, asked around etc, and the 2 standouts seem to be the SSM and Spohn SFC's.

While I know the Spohn's will clear the Hedman y-pipe ( At least Steve Spohn stated this in a post ) I've heard that some had to trim the SSM's and some didn't.

The ONLY think holding be back from getting the Spohn SFC's is the fact they are tubular and SSM are boxed. I know the strength issue, I'm talking about using these as a jacking point. The flat would seem better I would think.......


So anybody who HAS the Hedman y-pipe for the smog legal Hedman headers and SFC's, please let me know what brand you have and how was the fit concerning the exhaust...



Thanks

 

Most jacks and jackstands I've ever seen tend to seat better on a rounded surface than flat. Less likely for the round (Like an axle to slip off of a jack bacause it recesses or seats between the pegs of a jack or stands where as the flat surface sits right on the pegs. Tubular is much more stable on jacks.

I've been wrenching on cars since I was in diapers and can tell you first hand I have seen a car slip off a stand that a peg broke and fell on my fathers leg. Luckily he healed fine and it was a he l l of a lesson I still remeber to this day.

 

ouch, glad he's ok! working around cars can be dangerous..
