Default tsp true duals not fitting..plan b?

I didn't know i needed the umi torque arm to fit true duals on my car! Now im stuck with the X bumping into the factory torque arm. should i go to an exhaust shop and have them fabricate around the torque arm, or do i buy the umi torque arm?

Damn that sucks, I thought they fit with stock suspension pieces.

I would take it to an exhaust shop and have them try to modify it to work.

Hmm.. thats strange. Mine fit just fine. Did you put the X pipe piece on right? Mine was slightly bowed downwards to compensate fo the tourque arm. If it is one of the mufflers hitting, try using a prybar to stretch away from the torque arm a bit.

Filp your X around and you should be fine. Mine fit fine with space to spare w/ the factory t/a.

The TSP true duals will clear fine with the stock torque arm.. you might have to loosen the clamps up some and shift it around for better clearance... also if its bumping it and moving you might need to get it to sit tighter to the floor and keep it from bouncing like that. Make sure where you mounted it to the floor its nice and tight.

Our torque arm will offer additional room over the factory arm but isn't needed.

I hope those suggestions help!
