It can be done, BMR has a pic of one, but to give you an idea you would have to use something like the magnaflow xpipe and run the pipes along the single pipe route, or if your exhaust shop loves you they can get it to dump with a sharp 90/90 off the xpipe behinde the TQ arm cross member

Try fabbing up an H pipe instead. That was the only way I could keep my duals with the body mounted torque arm.

Is the power gain worth all the trouble? how much power do you gain with an X compared to just true duals?

I had to custom build my x pipe set up for my umi torque arm. I'm running 3" pipe with the x positioned in the middle of the torque arm chasis mount.
