only one subframe connector

Hey, I finally got my car on a lift today and found out I only have the left side sub frame connector! They were obviously homemade and the left side is all there but it looks like the right side was cut to make room for bigger exhaust. there appears to be some damage to the back right frame where it would have been. So my question is, will I be able to put a new one on with the damage? Also is it bad for me just to have one? Should I take it off?
thanks

Take some pics & show us. Hard to say much, not knowing anything about these homemade SFCs or what was done to one for the exhaust clearance.

Different brands attach at different points.So you can always buy a set that avoids the damaged area.Or fix the damage & attach the new SFC same as before.Doubt leaving the loner connector would do much/any harm.
