Anyone here have subframe connectors with a true dual exhaust? Wondering if it'll fit or not. I have an opportunity to buy a new set of weld in Tbyrne subframes for about $100. I'm not sure if they will fit on my car or not. Can anyone shed light on how these weld on pieces will fit with longtubes and a dual 3" exhaust?

Re: Anyone here have subframe connectors with a true dual exhaust? The Tbyrnes are like the Global West if I'm not mistaken and come no where close to the exhaust.
They fit into that channel on the outsides of the floorpan and run from about the front jacking points to just in front of the LCA frame mounting point. If they are as good as my GWs then they're an excellent SFC.

Re: Anyone here have subframe connectors with a true dual exhaust? I agree, I have Global West SFC's. They are the beefiest tubular SFC's I have seen. They have 2" tubing with 1/8" wall thickness - most of the other tubular SFC's are like 1 5/8" tubing.
Even with 2" tubing, the Global West SFC's tuck up completely under the car - you cannot even see them unless you stick your head under the car.
I think the only SFC's that could interfere with any exhaust are the double diamond type that have cross braces. All of the tubular ones tuck up in a channel very near the outside of the car.
I guarantee the Global West SFC's (or any similar style) will not interfere with ANY exhaust you can think of - even side exit exhaust - the ground clearance would suck, but it would suck just as bad if you had SFC's or not.
If you are dumping at the axles, or going over the axles & out the back the exhaust will not be even close to the SFC's.
