Default subframe connectors

i am about to purchase some subframe connectors prolly from byunspeed. i have true duals on my car and i dont think 3 point sbcs will clear. so i am going to get the 2 points. what will be the strongest tubular or box. my car is used mostly for drag racing. do you like the weld ins or bolt ins, and would you reccommend BMR or UMI

boxed are stronger. and ive been told before to get the bolt in. they are cheaper and you can always weld them in as well.

Hello,

We haven't found any exhaust system out there that will not clear our 3-Point SFC's, I think you would be just fine but I do recommend to use our installation pictures just to verify or send me a picture and I can take a look.

Byunspeed is also running 20% off our SFC's until Christmas

Let me know if I can help anymore. Thank you!
Ryan

boxed is stronger, as stated

but also heavier

either one will make an improvement.

only buy the bolt ins if you are going to weld them anyway. otherwise do it right and get weld ins.
bolt holes can shift and elongate under abuse.
