Can I just use the subframe connectors to hold up both sides while I replace a midpipe? If so does it matter where on the subframe I place the jacks? Any advice/guidance is appreciated, thanks!
Okay cool, thanks! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't making some totally avoidable mistakeHell yeah. Next to the axles, it's probably the strongest part. Take care to not scuff them all up.

Yes you can. I put my lift pads right under where the SFCs are welded to the cars front and rear subframes and up she goes. Rock solid too, no issues. I installed MM SFCs last month and they are pretty beefy/solid and nice.Can I just use the subframe connectors to hold up both sides while I replace a midpipe?

That's a bummer, thanks for the tip!I wouldn't jack the car by the connectors themselves. I did some cosmetic damage to my left side MM connector on my 91 GT by trying to jack up the car that way.
I compounded my mistake by using a two-ton floor jack. My intention was to put jack stands in front of the left rear and behind the left front tire so I could rotate tires or something (it was years ago) and I didn't count on the how the weight would be distributed. The rear of the jack itself tilted up and smacked into my left side skirt and damaged it.
