They look pretty low-class, if you know what I mean. The manifold is short and stubby, like the ETS super value, they just use garrett turbos, most use Precision now.
Really, you can find something better and cheaper nowadays with a lot more potential. ETS, Buschur, etc. This may have been a good deal back in 2003.

I havent heard of SFP since my Honda days.
They use a Garrett turbo from what the link says.
From my memory, their manifolds were never really all that nice. I have seen them with rusting problems and saw cracking from them.
That steered me away from using their products.

I have an SFP manifold on my Talon and it made 603whp at ~31psi. It is a short stubby mani but it spools well and makes a lot of power. Also it hasnt cracked in 5yrs although the car sat for a while after a robbery so it isnt a totally fair example. Wes Hess used to use an SFP t4 mani on his low10/high 9 sec talon in the early 200's as well and it didnt crack. Wes just worked into being s premiere fabricator so he used his own manifolds for his later builds. For the cost and solid cinstruction I have seen they were decent pieces.

And my typing was clearly not up to par in my last post! Damn fingers! Also the Talon hasnt seen a lot of street miles since the robbery and 5 broken transmissions but it still was a ton of fun on each one of those miles. Some memories last a lifetime!!!

I used to run an SFP kit on my boosted hatchback. They had great kits, but they are no longer in business because the owner moved up North. They were based in South Florida. I am still in contact with the owner as we have been friends for years. He is the one that got me started in EVO's
