When I looked at them I was absolutely appalled!!!
They were just straight square tubing with a bracket on one end. They didn't bend to fit the car's contours, YOU cut the car to fit the subframe connectors!
I'd pass and get almost anyone else's.

The search on that part number links you to the wrong image of the part..scroll up when you search.Top of the page is part numbers for various bolt in subframes..102411 is for 82-92 F-body,"bolt in..can be welded though".Trust me I know this number being as I have purchased five sets now.Not trying to be an ***,so please don't take it that way.The part number you listed is for weld ins which require cutting of the floor pans to fit and install according to their tech dept 2 years ago.Either set does fit our cars though.It is easier for most enthusiasts to bolt them in and weld later on when they get the chance.

I run my Z with no cat..just a cut out so no issues there.On the other 4 cars I have installed them on with factory full size cats(3 TPI cars and 1 TBI)..no issues either.
