Went you order a kit, tell the dealer or sponor that you have Subframes so they put the correct kit order into STS.

Im pretty sure the drivers side sfc will have to be cut out because the intake tube from the turbo runs exactly were that sfc goes.

Passenger side yes, driver side no because the intake pipe works as a subframe connector, at least that is how it is on the f-bodies not sure on the goats.

I would never say never but I think it would be pretty difficult to make it work. It would also depend on what kind and how the sfc is constructed. I would just cut out the old sfc and be done with it if you want the STS kit that bad. To me cutting out the old would be a whole lot easier than trying to make another pipe or trying to make the one in the kit work with an existing sfc. I think if you look at the install instructions it should say something about that. I would just call STS and talk to them about it and see what they say about it but I think they will tell you it would be easier to just cut the old one out. Just my 0.02
