chassis support?

blownbyyou · 03-13-2003, 10:36 PM

hello,
my chassis is starting to twist (alittle)in the rear, i have not raced it for a while. and don't plan on it till i get something to support the chassis. but my problem is, i have 3" dual side pipes, like the shelbys had but 3". and i believe that the chassis supports from mustang mags will get in the way. i don't want to remove the pipes, cause thats how everone knows me. is there some thing out there can buy that would fit? or does this call for a custom job?

If your exaust still runs along the driveshaft and makes a 90` turn towards the door you should be good. I had 2 1/2 side exaust on my 66 with a subrame connector that you can buy from mustangsplus.com or anywhere else. I ended up putting the exaust out the back again for personal reasons (heat and exaust fumes mostly.) Didn't have any interference problems coming out the side though. Good Luck!

How far do the pipes hang down along the driveshaft? You might have to settle for the 2 piece subframe connectors, rather than the one piece.
