You'll probly have to redo your true dual setup to clear the front mount.

yeah unfortunately these are setup to run with a y-pipe. You'll have to re-do your exhaust setup around the new torque arm.

I agree you would probably have a problem with duals.
I have a Spohn TA, but it's the tranny mount style. I just used a different crossmember to relocate it. It's a great solid TQ Arm, nice piece.

You will get some more road noise and the occasional bump with it. It's like that with any floor mounted Arm. My friend had that same exact arm on his LT1, it works but you do feel it.

Those types of TQ arms often interfere with custom exhaust set ups and true duals fall under that. I am not a fan of doing work over again and I dont see any issue of useing a stock style upgraded TQ arm, in light of the things you may need to change.

OR just buy it and have your exhaust guy work around it.
