weld on work awesome. Bolt ons suck and are a waste of money.

if you have them bolted in right now... then icant imagine you'll actually feel the diffrerence.
its going to add more rigidity definately, i just dont think you can feel it.

well put ti this way..i had a 02 gt that would twist and go sideways during a burnout/hard acceleration, then i drove my buddies 01 bullitt which comes stock with subframes, and his car just went straight during a burnout or wot, it was amazing, felt stiffer and was just a better car, i know everything that is diff on a bullitt than a gt so i dont need the fact that the gt is different...i KNOW just givin an example

but those stockers are just bolted in, and i dont think they are full length (if its anything like an svt)
i think he was referring to welding in vs bolting in.

SVT's do not come with SFC's. Long story short dude, don't waste your money with bolt-ins. Bolt's will eventually flex/loosen under torsion chassis flex. A good muffler shop can weld for cheap. Make sure they have a drive on lift though. That is a MUST!!! Otherwise your doors may never close right again.
