Do you know if the sub frame connectors will work with the stock Boss side exhaust pipes?

The side exit exhaust brackets will need to be notched for them to fit.

No problems with the side exhaust, my guy installed the sub frame connectors no problem he said.

had everything installed yesterday, car feels great! havent really been able to push it but played around and it does seem more rigid and less understeer but I wont really know the later till I can really push it.

ordered this today as well....going for more rigidity! This plus the sub frame connectors could do a little
