Default True duals with BMR Extreme T/A setup?

True duals with BMR Extreme T/A setup? Is this possible with the crossmember and T/A mount? Anyone done this, any pics? Thanks, Shawn

I think if you flip the crossmember upside down it will clear.

There is no way that would work on my car. I recently installed the BMR Extreme TA. Installing it upside down puts the hump right in the middle of the drivshaft.

Spanky: If you trim the tunnel brace mounts off and use a BFH on the floorboards, you can get the crossmember up high. I don't remember without looking if there is still enough room to get two pipes through there.

It can be done, I have this setup myself. You will have to cut the crossbrace and you can either bolt or weld it back up in place.

Here are some pics. The first one is not my car but the pics are good. The 2nd one is my car but the pics suck but you will get the idea from looking at them.


I used bolts on mine, The are roughly the diameter of the bolts that hold the tq arm to the rear end and my car feels as solid as it did when it was welded. The way the guy who installed this explained it to me was that the tq arm will push up so if you use bolts you have to also weld on a bottom and possibly a new side to the crossbrace so the bolts will work right. On mine they go right through the side of the sub frame and the nut is on the other side. Anyways here are the pics
