Re: midwest subrame connectors

Is it just me, or are these sfcs completely incompatible with stock exhaust routing? Looks like they'd go right through the cats.

Not the best design by far, but it gets the job done.

I agree, if they aren't in the way they sure are very very close to a stock exhaust

It looks like they didn't even try. They cut a straight bar and welded some C channel on and called it a day.

Re: midwest subrame connectors

Funny story, I had a good set of subframe connectors up there for almost 2 yrs for him to build me a bunch so I could sell them.
I finally picked them up after the constant runaround about having to laser cut a couple parts for my design. Asked why he couldn't get them built for me, I was told nobody calls for 3rdgen parts and it wasn't worth their time.
A 3rdgen wasn't worth their time.... It shows in this design.

Re: midwest subrame connectors

So would we say their intended audience is more drag racers? Fabbed rear axles, parachute bars, and SFCs that cut through the factory exhaust location?
