I have duals with the extreme duty torque arm. You have to take the hump on the crossmember, cut it out and flip it the other way. Instead of going under the y pipe it goes over the x pipe. I have speed inc duals and they did all the work. I also too the drive shaft loop and it's welded to my BMR tranny crossmember. The torque arm crossmember was a tight fit. I think the floor boards needed a little massaging too.

This is what we did for mine. May give you an idea of whats possible. This is 3" pipes. You may be able to have someone fab up a modified crossmember like mine and use the rest of the BMR stuff. Either way...its a pain to get all that stuff under there.

Here is the custom crossmemeber with DS loop. The bridged portion is done that way for the X pipe to come through,

Here it is with the 3" true duals installed with the X pipe.

Here's a few pics of one we made for a car with BMR's torque arm setup:

You'll ntice we had to make the cross piece removable from the subframe connectors (similar to AL's). That was the only way to route the pipes over the cross piece and still be able to remove the exhaust later!

My exhuast is actually the same as the one Dead Hooker posted. You can get it to fit for sure just need someone who can fab it all up.
