The smaller tubing going across are for structural support to the triangulated pieces. It's worked really well so far, been driving on it that way since I went back to all-slower lol. No stress cracks or stress points and takes a launch very well with the Energy Suspension poly radius rod bushings.

basically grind ---- outta the way, if you need to get too extreme brace before you cut and box ---- in/replace with tubing

Get a new crossmember or start hacking and fabbing. Or just get a real manifold. :1
