instalation on subframe connectors

fivespeedsteed · Sep 20, 2005

Call around to local muffler shops and see if they will weld them in for you. Usually performance shops over charge for this simple install and muffler shops can do the same job for much less.

I'd be sure that the shop you take it to understands what they are installing though

it cost me $205 CDN with tax to install my full length maximum motorsports subframes

totally worth it!!

A local shop quoted me $120 for the install. Then I called an exhaust shop and they quoted me $35 hmmmm

Yeah,make sure the shop has experience installing them.I think I recall reading somewhere that you have to be careful with the welding...do a little at a time let it cool then continue so you don`t overheat the frame rails.

Maximum Motorsports full lenngth non powder coated.

As far as the welding goes just tell them to blow with an air hose on each weld to rapidly cool it. If the shop you call has no clue what you're talking about just move along anyway.

I did mine myself. After I found out that the local shop would do them for $65 I though I would give it a shot myself. I have welded before so it wasn't a big issue. Not pretty by any means but I don't plan for many people to be under my car looking at the weld job on the sub frames LOL!

I just ordered some subframe connectors from blue oval industries for 65 bucks (shipping included). A muffler shop quoted me 100 bucks to get them welded in, I'll do it myself or have a buddy weld them in.

All suspension loads go through the front and rear subframes and into the central unibody structure. The Mustang unibody bends and flexes because the front and rear subframes of the car are connected by the unsupported and flexible center portion of the floor pan.
Subframe connectors are welded to the bottom of the unibody, connecting the front and rear subframes and supplying more structure than is provided by the floor pan. This increased structure reduces the amount of bending and twisting in the chassis...

I cracked my windshield over the summer having some fun at a Michigan Left turn.... It's going to be fixed this winter, but I was really p.o.'d
BTW: I have SFC's, but I guess not having a top really effects the stiffness of my car.
