Welding not my strong points. That may steer me towards the Whiteline. Like to do the install myself. Will the Cortex also require welding?

I find it strange how “it hasn’t broken yet, so it must be good” is accepted as solid logic.

I dunno, I still like my Panhard bar... (ducks to avoid thrown beers)
After a crash hard enough to BEND the rear axle housing, while both rod-ends were destroyed, the PHB was still attached at both ends to the factory double-shear bracketry and hardware... I doubt that type of force applied to any single-shear Watts propeller mount would have as survivable an outcome. Not enough gain for the weight and complexity cost outside of (possibly) parking-lot cone-hunting.
Just to clarify: Maybe I didn't say exactly what I would have liked to. Given the choice, I would choose the Cortex Watts. I believe that the Whiteline Watts is capable of performing very well. I enjoy it immensely out on the track. If it had not committed ritual suicide on a 15-20mph turn on the commute home, I would be more confident in recommending it to others.
It is possible for one good thing to be better than another good thing. I know this is the internet, but recommending the Cortex over the Whiteline Watts Link does not indicate that the Whiteline Watts link is a pile of trash. It merely indicates that in my opinion, it is the better of the two units.
Ok can you prove this statement? Have you used either Cortex or Griggs units?
This kind of posting drives me away from posting. You get these guys that have only used one component and go around saying it's the best thing ever and they haven't used other setups.
It's like all the supercharger threads of which is the best? Of course people are gonna say theirs is. Same applies here.
Whiteline does not use a double shear setup which has disadvantages. Is it a bad product? No.
Just some constructive criticism...
Is your buddy running the street or track kit from Griggs? I have the street kit and it's barely louder than the factory parts.
And in response to that... a panhard bar that's snapped in half!
post #8 in thread said:I am thinking now that it may have been clipped by a rock or something at some point before I bought it and cracked the bar and then due to my "spirited driving" exacerbated the crack to the point of failure.

If somebody with an ME would like to expound, I think we could ALL use the info, myself included.
