Default anyone running a track pack torque arm with through the floor SFCs?

I talked to HPE today about maybe doing a wolfe torque arm and they said that the track pack is pretty nice and should hold what i want it to. they said that it is cross member mounted (knew that but didn't know where...) and the mounts are in the crossmember area. so, as it says is anyone running this arm with through the floors and if so how is it mounted and how is it performing for you?

The BMR track pak doesn't come through the floor. The Crossmember is welded to
the SFC's and the torque arm mounts to the crossmember.I don't know if there is
a new style or not.I've had mine for 3 years, I pull consistant 1.25 60's.
I wouldn't run one without an anti roll bar, because i think the twisting would bend the
crossmember tabs.IMO

i have a Wolfe swaybar on the car currently. the issue i was thinking of is the crossmember for the torque arm. does it just weld to whatever location, or is it bolted in to where a set of bolt in subframes would bolt in? (that's how i heard it mounts.)

1.25s is nasty Jugg...very nice...i'm hoping for 1.25-.35 out of my new setup.

The Trak Pak mounts to the SFCs via welds theres a few pics on BMRs sight.





With the Wolfe SFCs you would weld the cross member to the SFCs like normal.

My question would be is if there is anybody running the Track Pack with True Duals and an X Pipe??

i've heard that you can't run this arm with true duals, and i've heard from like one or two people that it can be done but it's hard. i was planning on running something like a 4" into 5" mufflex exhaust on my setup, and just pull the exhaust off and put on some turn downs with bullets for track time. 1 7/8 stepped to 2" kooks with 3.5" collectors.

THe answer is yes. People are. You just have to get a Custom narrower X made. Someone with alittle know how and a bandsaw could fab you up something to use. Theres some pics floating around of custom X's people have made.

Yes, but those tend to be wider then your normal X junctions.

what if you could "flip" the pipe and do it where its taller than wider, that might be pretty interesting, though that would limit space in the verticals, rather than the horizontal.
