Looking for some new sfc

I am looking for some new sfc. The ones right now are cut so my exhaust can fit, along with the exhaust dented in so it could fit. What I am looking for is a set that will work with my 3.5 inch exhaust along with a 2.5 y pipe and a crossmember mounted torque arm. Which ones will fit without modifying the exhaust. Which ones work great for you guys and any pics

Which ones you have? I'm pretty sure Spohn or UMI would fit your needs.

Re: Looking for some new sfc

Go to their websites and look at the pictures they have. You should be able to see if they will or not.

Re: Looking for some new sfc

Do you have a pic of your exhaust setup. What kind is it or is it custom made?
I have Alston. They are tube and the right one goes over the cat converter area. I could meaure for you how low it hangs at that point.
Not the best pics, but all I have at the moment.

Re: Looking for some new sfc

Does anyone know if the Spohn or UMI SFC will work with a 3.5 mufflex single exhaust? I don't want to order one and find out it won't fit

Re: Looking for some new sfc

Look into the Global West sfc's. They look great on my car ('91 GTA). Those ones in the pics above would never work on my car since it has been lowered. The GW sfc's wrap around the tunnels(?) on the outside of the floorpans. They installed without any problems with my aftermarket exhaust which has dual cats. I believe James C has them as well. I was very pleased with the quality and fit.
