I have his extreme chromoly torque arm and Strange 12 bolt narrowed a total of 6".

Here are some pictures for you. Not the best but they will work.







The torque arm mount is custom.

X pipe is probably not going to work unless you section the crossmember into the floorboard to get the room, as you can see it travels across the frame connectors.

But, probably one of if not the best tq arm setups you can buy.

Heres a picture of my Madman set up out of the car.

This one has been used for lots of mock ups so it looks like hell.

Madman has built, and set up more fast 4 th gens then anyone, that tq arm has more real world track results then any other on high powered cars, it works, plain and simple. Can others be set up to do the same? Sure, but are they (the other manufacturers) a phone call away when you're getting it set up and are at the track on a Sunday and need help? Doubtful.

And he is even at some of the bigger races to help if you have any issues.
Great guy to deal with and always just a phone call away with answers to any questions.

Madman TTF !

I will say that madman is great to deal with, hell he called us back on a weekend when he was actually at an event to help us out with a suspension setup that we didnt even buy from him.

Nope the trans mount is a BMR piece. All thats custom on the car is the anti-roll bar, SYA bars, and sub-frame connectors as well as the front end work. It was all done by the same guy.

I'm curious to see if anyone is running an exhaust out the back with this setup as I want to myself.

You can, but you will have to channel the front mount into the floor, or run oval exhaust tubing, both being the most ideal

You can do that and that will help. Cutting a little slot in the floor, and sinking it 1/2 way in (welding it to the frame connectors, and the floorboard all the way across the car) would make it really solid and get it up and totally out of the way... be more work but probably worth it if you want to be able to run anything you want exhaust wise.
