My personal car I'm goingn 2x3 route through the floors. The xv setup gives the same look without interfering with anything inside. I honestly had to grind about half of the of the areas that meet the body to make it even close to flush. Then some tapping on the floors to get it closer. The directions stated about not all cars beign the same and I'm sure thats true. I ended putting them on a slight angles to avoid interfering with the holes in the crossmember. Being a factory 440 CA emissions car, got the return line and a vent or whatever. So had to make sure the opening was completely unblocked. I did not expect it to be a set on and weld and be done. This car also has factory torque boxes, so I knew Id be trimming there. So I cut that and had no choice then but to use them. If I hadn't already cut them I may have went a different route.
So the two main problems to me was the way they were reconmended to be mounted would block the holes in the crossmember, the other is if you fit them as directed, the rails on the rear are angled in front, but the connectors are straight... which throws things off.
I did modify them to how I wanted them to fit and now the works done, I am happy with them lol! But they were fighting me earlier! The cars getting a 493 stroker with eheads, so it will be ready now!
