STS turbo system Part sub fram connector?

I hear that the discharged pipe that runs from the turbo to the front of the car is very strong and also acts as a drivers side subfram connector.Is this true, is the pipe realy that strong, if so what sub fram conector (Brand) would work well on the passenger side??? I would like to install a subFram connector on the other side so that my car dont flex. Would like one that is no too heavy and bolts in just to the front and read of the car not in the middle. Thank you for your help.

There are quite a few that will work, but you may have to find someone that wrecked their car on the drivers side to get one. That would be better than buying both and just using one.

Is the pipe actually welded to the car subframes? Otherwise I don't see how it can possibly work as a SFC. What kind of piping is it? Either way I don't see a thin wall piece of tubing preventing the car from flexing.
