Just finally got around to getting my MM full length subframes installed. I didnt really get to test it out on the way home, but i could tell that it felt more solid just driving down the road. I will see how it feels as soon as I can go get loose on some turns. I cant wait until next weekend because thats when I almost finish my suspension when I install the MM torque arm & rear coilovers. All thats left is the K member, A arms & a better rear sway bar & then Im set in the suspension dept.

Heres a few pics, but they dont show much...The welds dont look that pretty, but they get the job done....

if you did custom fab it, you wouldnt have any clearence at all. Mine goes pretty far up into the under body, if i had to go over that it'd be pretty odd.

Man, my h-pipe scrapes on damn near every speed bump, and I only have the pro-kit springs. I couldn't imagine the damage you'd do with pipes going under the subframes.

I can't quite tell but how much space is there between your subframe connector and the frame rail?

all of his pics are facing the front of his car, so i cant tell if you'd be able to go over it. All i know is there is a very short length of space where you can bend it to so that you can come right from the mid-pipe w/ a simple 2.5"X3" piece that connects to your muffler (many are too lang) then a gradual 90degree bend out to the side. Otherwise you'll have to snake back and back-track. Off the shelferz like roush and spintech sureley wont fit from what i can see

Because it looks like crap....

No, I'm just kidding.. I'm asking because when I had mine installed the ******* who did it left about a 1/4 to 3/8 of an inch between the frame rail and the connector and just filled it in with weld..

I was just comparing.. Looks good man!!

I have to buy a new set now and have my old ones ground off..

Its probably about an 1/8 of an inch & its flush in the front. These frames are never perfect, so it might be a little off. But oh well, its better than the bolt ins.

Awesome! Im looking at adding some MM full length subframes here shortly.
I am also thinking about getting the MM torgue arm package as well, so when you put that TA on let us know how easy the install was and what modifications were needed

How was the installation of the panhard bar?

The PHB install is a b**ch if u are doin it in the driveway on your back. But if u did it on a lift, I dont see it taking longer than a couple of hours. Depending on what catback you have, the tailpipes will have major issues. Dynomax, & flowmaster tailpipes fit fine since they run in the stock location, but Magnaflow & others take some modifying to fit. I will let u guys know how the Torque arm goes as soon as I get it in.....
