Anyone using Global West's subframe connectors? Comments, if so.

Yes I am, as well as their control arms, panhard rod, springs, and everything else I can get my hands on..LOL I like their connectors, they weld in and don't interfere with anything such as exhaust or anything else. They also have helped me working on my car by being able to jack on them anywhere. Hope that helps some, I Like'Em!!!

 

I was seriously considering getting a set. My only concern was clearing the dual cat exhaust. Do you have one or two cats. I really want them but had those concerns. Any help?

 

I have the GW subs with Lingenfelter Tri-Y headers connected to stock dual cats. I had to "dimple" the Lingenfelter supplied pipe that connected the passenger side header to the cat to make it all fit. I used (abused) a 1" dia impact socket as mandrel to dimple the pipe. I think you'd have to do the same thing with the stock pipes.

Using them for 2 yrs and loving them. The ultimate "squeak remover". I have a single cat and SLP Y-pipe...did have some clearance problems w/Y-pipe...occasional rattle. I wrapped a portion of the Y-pipe in header wrap..not pretty, but a worthwhile tradeoff in my opinion. Rides like a new car, but with 173K miles on it.
