Default 2 pt. vs. 3 pt. subframe connectors

Why would someone choose one over the other? Besides price?

Yeah, this has been discussed and great length in numerous threads. A 2 point connector will offer more support/rigidity than stock, a 3 point being the best. The only reason I can see staying away from 3 point connectors is if you can't clear exhause/headers or something. But UMI's clear just about everything. Some poeple will say they do nothing, while others will swear by them. In my opinion stiffening the chassis is definitely a good thing.

sometimes the search feature does SUCK......but this topic has been discussed to the point of intestinal distress......if you really want to stir the hornets nest......ask about strut tower braces

I read a few about the 3 point getting in the way of an exhaust. I do plan for a full TSP LTH/cattedY and catback in the future. Was the only reason I considered the 2point... Ya'll have aftermarket exhaust with those 3points? Thanks again!
I think the strut tower is a pretty straight forward concept...lol We'll leave that alone.

I have kooks headers and y with 3 points and don't see how a normal exhaust setup could have issues with 3 points
