Default sub frame question

How much did it cost to have welded in?

Does the exhaust have to be removed?

Is there any particular brand recommended or do the $40 ones do what the $100 ones do?

Are the ones with Seat Bracket needed?

THis is for my DD

Thanks

Get the ones with seat brackets. As far as welding cost....depends on the shop. I have the cheapies and they work well. I have no complaints with them. Finally, your exhaust can stay attached.

did it myself , but any muffler shop should do it for $100 or less .

No

I have the FRPP sub-frame's(tubular) which I like . I also have a pair from MM that I got in a kit , they look strong too but I already had the other one's on . I haven't seen the $40 one's but you usually get what you pay for .

No , you dont need them .

but you dont need a special way to jack it up or something - my tuner said that you cant use a 4 point lift bc it will be warped and really junk your car?!?!
