Which subframe connectors

I'm trying to decide which subframe connectors to use, the BMR ones have 2 models, 1 for "outside exhaust" and another for "inside exhaust". I want to run long tube headers, down under the body and then 45⁰ exit in front of the back tires. So I don't know if that would be classified as "in" or "out" exhaust. Lemme know

Re: Which subframe connectors

Outside. Those pieces of steel are used to snake around the exhaust and make more contact points. The "inside frame" aren't compatible with OE or OE style exhaust

Edit: I'm blind I guess! You plan on running long tubes. In that case either or will work for you

Re: Which subframe connectors

Hi. the Detroit Speed subframe connectors are good, not a concern with the long tubes in my car. i also did some research on the location and design of subframe connectors for other cars and i found the same design that DS uses is the preferred method for chassis rigidity in other forms of racing with unibody cars.
