I bought a UMI body mounted tunnel brace with torque arm (PN#UMI2200) last month and its still in the box, I now want TSP duals cause my exhaust sounds like **** with all the rasp. Would it be more beneficial to just install the torque arm and look for a better catback or just not use that torque arm and maybe get a transmission mounted TA and go true duals.

Typically, the catback isn't what makes all off the rasp. The merge on the y-pipe is the biggest contributor. You can take it to an exhaust shop, and have a new merge put into the y-pipe.

I know it isn't exactly what you asked, but it may end up saving you money, getting rid of your rasp, and giving you no issues with your torque arm setup. If you search, there tons more threads too.

you can run true duals with that torque arm. i just went thru the same issues, i custom made a 3" true dual setup with the x pipe sitting inside the mounting brace. its a very tight fit and was a pain in the dick but its done and i couldnt be happier not having that junk *** y pipe and rasp

lol thanks man, it was a pain in the *** but it was beyond worth it. the sound difference with the duals is amazing, i used the dynomax bullets and they are very deep but very loud, when you hit WOT it sounds like heaven lol

True duals can be done with the umi chassis mount, just needs fab work and it's a tight fit. I did it with a Jegs x pipe and a bunch of 3" mandrel bends.
