If you click on 'application' on the link, 82-92 Camaro/Firebird comes up.

They fit, but will hang low. Spend a little extra coin on a better set. I bought the Alstons off a member here, just waiting for them to ship. They are low profile, almost un- noticeable. I've seen others the same way too.

I got Alstons from lonsal/TDS and the clearance is great. They even work with the stock exhaust with no issues. Macs are the same design and cheaper, but never in stock by anyone. Be prepared to wait a month or more for them.

Re: will these sub frame connectors fit?

My MACS hang low and not the greatest idea if you are lowered more than 1 inch i'd say.. Does anyone know if the Alston's are better tucked than the MAC ?

Yep those are the MAC ones.. They do the job don't get me wrong, but they do hang lower than the ground effects, but I think my catalytic converter hangs lower though so the exhaust would hit first before these would.

Re: will these sub frame connectors fit?

As for fitment., and did they fit good as in the cat didn't get in the way, or did u need to modify some things to make them fit? I'm tempted to buy a set of these now

A shop installed them in 2007 so I can't really remember if there were any exhaust mods needed.

Can get the Macs for the same base price as fast toys with shipping here. Was $133 last time I checked.
