It says its made in ft. lauderdale south florida performance. They just put performance after the city, state. Theres no way its an SFP, they have "SFP" lazer cut into the flange dont they? Dont pay them til you find out exactly what it is

I would rather get negative feed back then a crapy piece, talk with ebay and the seller and explain that it was a misunderstanding. See what happens.

sfp closed about 1 1/2 years ago and was opened under another name "smith speed"

they stopped making manifolds over 2 years ago....

the old "smith speed" is now named TD autowerkes and owned and operated by me...

and we also make manifolds..... nothing like the old "sfp" style though.....

I have an SFP manifold and it looks nothing like that, they might have made multiple designs but I've never seen one like that. Here's mine:



Mine also has an oval badge tacked onto one of the runners that says SFP.

That doesn't look too bad for the price, but who knows, you won't be able to tell until you have it in your hands and can inspect the quality.

that ebay manifold with only 1 picture in the auction is NOT a quality manifold.
someone local here bought one thinking it was decent. it has a formed collector, no bracing, shitty welds, and the back runners are single tube conduit pieces not the pie cut stuff like the front makes it look.

here is a link to the thread on the local board.
