Default FLP LTs and SLP sub frames???

...Trying to elimiate the trerrible banging with my FLP LT headers...

Some suggestions are to install poly engine and trans mapounts and to install a sub frame connector...


Since I would rather not weld-in sub frames I am considering SLP bolt-on subfram connectors...


Any one have this combination? Does it work; any interference between the FLP headers and the subframes?

Thanks.....

You will have to cut a cross brace from the SLP subframes on the driver side to allow the FLP header clearance. Takes 2 minutes with a sawzall; you can have the brace re-welded. I did not.

Well, both the SLP's and the KBDD's need cut, so that leaves LG and BMR ( for big names ).

Oh thanks - are the LG and BMR brands cheapies compared to SLPs and Kenny Browns?

Is it worth it to buy these or just get the full subframes and cut one of the brackets/bars?

Thanks...
