And why do you say that?

Subframes make a huge difference in cutting down the flex in the chassis.

I don't agree with the 'night and day' thing either but I'm sure it helps in the long run. If yours is a daily driven car, you may not get much out of them. If you occasionally go to the track and hit it hard, they'll help keep your car straight.

Ok I'll be the lone voice standard. Also from the looks of the MM peices you better plan a few hours into getting them on there. Also most Full lengths you can't fit Cats on with them in place.

I have them and see no problem putting on a midpipe with cats.

How would the SFC's make your exhaust scrape? Doesn't make sense.

You wouldnt know but tantlus has quite a few sharp turns . It's where all the drifters go to act stupid on public roads, and endanger the lives of other people.

Ok the MM's shouldn't be a problem seeing how they mount UNDER the front Frame section BUT lots of the others onthe market run alongside the frame and I seriously doubt those will clear a Cat, I know for a FACT I couldn't finish welding mine in till they were removed. Also seeing as how they sit lower than the frame how bad is scrapping on them then?

Do you have a panhard rod or spherical bearing control arms? if you don't have something to locate the rear axel better you won't notice the subframes as much.

there are multiple problem areas on a mustang. rear axel location is the most overlooked problem IMO. could not belive the differenc the MM drag arms made on my car. In hindsight I would have bought the parhard rod as well.

Do yourself a favor. Order Griggs sfc'c. There is only one size and it's the right one. Did not interfere with my cats at all.

That could be it...when I had my subframes installed, I already had my MM LCA's in.
