Got my MM FLSFC's today...

[illadvisedSnake]

... called Stenod, quoted about $200 for install. Seems like a good price from prices I have been seeing posted, guy said it was a 2.5-3 hours job. Seems like eveybody that goes there is happy. I'm gonna get an appointment within the next 2 weeks. The SFC's are look very well crafted, very happy with how they look, and from what everybody says I should be happy with how they perform. :burnout:

also got some MM Diff bushings... once these are on I'll have 1-7 done of the red pill... next is Level 5's

:beer:

Good choice. I had my KB jacking rails welded on there last week. They actually listened to me and welded them on while my car was on a drive-on lift! It was a harder job, the welder even had to lie on his side to weld it, but he did without complaining. Believe me, night and day difference (customer experience).

Ouch, I payed an even 100 bucks for mine about a year ago, and the same shop is charging the same price a year later.

If you don't mind the price, but I'm sure you could shop around.

I've read prices on here from $75 to close to $400. If it costs me an additional $100 to have a professional do it that has probably installed thousands of SFC's... then fine. Did you see the welds on that cage? you'd need a robot to lay down a nicer bead...

I called alternative also, Lido was not avaialbe, but the guy answering the phone said its $85 an hour and to call back later in the week. Based on the time quote of 2.5-3 hours from stenod thats 212.5-255 from there.

Agreed.
But I also agree on the quality of Stenod being worth it if you don't mind, they do some sweet work there.
Still, who looks at how nice the welds are on the SFCs? I'll take an ugly weld, spray it with flat black and keep $100 in my pocket.
Any quality exhaust shop with a drive-on should be able to do it, this isn't rocket science.
Got mine done locally for $100.

Those are very..... VERY nice welds Dave.

Wish I would have known about them before sending you to the other place.... bad me.

I wonder how much more effective the HANS subframes will be after being rewelded properly....

 

[terminator04]

motor city steel by my house quoted me about 100

Not gonna have them rewelded but am gonna have Nate do a brace from the main tube to the front seat bolts. Should tie in the floor better.

Nate should go to that "world welding championship" ;-)

 

[magstang1]

PFE did mine for $75. It took about 2.5 hours.

Check the factory welds on the GT500's for us. (I wonder if they'll have factory SFCs :shrug: )
Me so jealous :bowdown:
So, you finalize the color choice?

I will be SOOOoooo under that car...I'll def let ya know. Did a 180 and went white/blue. The last time I had that combo was when I owned a 76 Cobra II project car that came with a 4 banger before I slammed a 302 in it. :burnout:

I like the White/Blue----classic and looked excellent on the show car.
I was up in Flat Rock at Team Z picking up my engine and checking on my car and I saw a Tungsten/Silver coupe filling up. These cars are SWEET.
