Default sub frame connectors

what is the purpose of sub frame connectors and are how much do they cost and are they easy to install and do they add any power gains?

Subframe connectors strenghten the chassis aganist flex. The prices can range from about $150 to $300, they are either weld on or bolt on. I have bolt-ons, and it was an easy install. They do not "add power", they just strenghten the chassis...

They help to prevent body and chassis tweaking, sqeaks, rattles, and leaking T-tops.
