While it may work, even if it's thicker, the way it's just welded onto the bottom of the stock subframe end is not as strong as the original stock piece. I absolutely wouldn't leave my car like that. At least gusset some small triangles from the new flat piece you added in to the caps you welded onto the stock subframe where you cut it.

Don't want to sound like a *****, but is there any reason this isn't posted in builds or alternate engines, Mods?
