I never put my front tubes through the firewall but the rest of the cage is built to 12 point specs. I do have tubes running from the front of the front frame rails up to the front of the strut towers.

Even with my car gutted, it's still difficult to go through the firewall because of the multiple layers. Easiest way is to cut big holes for access. Run the tube through then weld it into position. Finish by welding patches back over the holes around the tubes.
