    if you can afford to go boost, then you can afford the proper x-member. Is it safe ? I haven't seen anyone with any issues after cutting one, and I cut the shit out of mine. But I'm sure its not as safe as before....

    u can knotch the frame now or just buy a aftermarket that will support your needs. like punk said if u can afford to go boost u can afford the right parts.
