scotty nm35 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Stainless HFC's are expensive, good ones anyway. My cost is around $200 each. At a guess the price is pretty good, depending on what they make for you. I had to cad up the stainless flanges off the manifold and get them laser cut for the job, I doubt they will be going that far though, they will probably try and re-use the oem flange. I really need to Jig these up, there is obviously a market here right?

scotty nm35 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Yes, but a HFC is just the cat, no flanges to bolt up to your manifold or Y pipe. They need to be welded in a jig to match the stock pipes exactly. If you don't know what you are buying, there is a good chance you will get ripped. If the quotes are too expensive, perhaps you could fork out for all the equipment to make them yourself?
