Default Help: Spohn Adj.Tq. Arm with Drive Shaft Safety Loop Cross Memeber and True Duals

So im running a Spohn Adj Tq Arm with their DSL Cross Member for Kooks LTs. The cross member with dsl is straight unlike the ones for y-pipes so the exhayst can flow thru. My issue is i has TSP True Duals and they will not work. Im also running UMI subframe connectors and Eibach Sportline Springs so i needed the flat dsl crossmember for ground clearnace that way, but now my true duals wont work. anyone have any pics of this tq arm with true duals and good groudclearance? As of right now im either going to have to chop up the tsp system to fit or sell it and get a custom x pipe true dual done. im tight on $ but i was looking into oval exhaust pipe to do this. thanks!

heres the images of the tq arm with dsl im running and umi subframes for reference:

I ran into the same problem.

What you have to do to get the duels to work is to use a stock length torque arm and a relocation crossmember for the trans.

You might be able to sell you current t/a and buy the crossmember and t/a. I know midwest can make you a crossmember but I'm not sure if it works with other torque arms.

lol just sold my bmr full length because i wanted the shorter arm with the driveshaft loop, i hate my self right now but as of right now, the spohn tq arm and dsl setup is too nice to get rid of so ill prob sell the true duals and have a true dual custom made for the car, which will suck money wise but it its what it is!! i was looking into oval 3" exhaust pipe as well for extra clearance...well see thanks

And I'd be more than willing to listen to the price you want for your true dual set up....

Contemplating as we speak....

On a side note, which TA set up is better for a car primarily street driven?
