UMI SFC Visibility
Are the UMI SFC visible from the side? I heard you can pinch weld them pretty much the entire length so that would seem to indicate they tuck up nicely, but I also heard that they are very similar to UMR and those have some gap. Spohn tubular hide the best IIRC but I don't want to weld round tubing. If you have a pic, please post it.

Re: UMI SFC Visibility
BottledZ28, I emailed UMI a couple weeks ago and they said the next sale was going to be black Friday. Last year they had a 10% off and free shipping for Thanksgiving.
Here's some prices:
Summit- $247.99 (but will beat a price by $1 lol)
Jegs- $239.99
LMPerformance- $229.00 (took $10 off to beat Jegs )
UMI- $283.40 (includes shipping to Central Illinois, $43.41)
UMI w/ 10% off and free ship- $215.99
All prices includ shipping.
I didn't contact Jegs but they price match as well and had a sale in January for $177.09 shipped which is definitely worth looking into. UMI also has them on eBay but its almost $300. In case anyone was wondering, UMI replied in under 4 hr, LMPerformance in 9.5 hr and Summit in like 2.5 days.

I have UMI sfc's. I cannot imagine there are any better fitting more tightly tucked up connectors anywhere out there. They fit perfect. Very happy with them.

Re: UMI SFC Visibility
Safety issue. The block will not withstand forward and backward movement as positioned in the photo. Also, if one block fails the rest will likely follow as the car drops and shifts.
Can be demonstrated by taking a single block and dropping it on a corner.

Re: UMI SFC Visibility
My only suggestion to UMI is to offer a version of these that is for guys that run an exhaust down the transmission tunnel, ie long tubes. It would just be a mirror of the drivers side connector. I question the effectiveness of that dinky little connector that is to be used in conjunction with the stock exhaust.

Re: UMI SFC Visibility
abubaca... your exhaust setup looks just like mine. I havd the dyno-dons hearders, to his ypipe, then a welded on magnaflow spun cat, to the : echaust with my electric cutout mounted in just the same spot. however, I do not have a turndown like you do on the end of it. I have wanted to, but never did. not sure if you ran the car around without it and then with it and noticed a difference of noise/tone/sound wave reverberating etc?? I should get one, a nice polished or stainless one like you have. what brand is that?
