Pics of true dual X w/custom torque arm/crossmember Here's how it's done:
W/out exhaust:
Torque arm has fully adjustable instant center and pinion angle. No rattles and no loss of ground clearance. (car in pics has been lowered)

Looks great I just have a few questions.
Is it 2.5" tubing?
What kind of mufflers are those?
Do you have any ground clearance shots of the muffers and tubing from the side or back of the car with it on the ground?

Fast,
- 3" tubing/flowmasters
- no pics of actual ground clearance, but we live in a subdivision w/ big speed bumps and have no problems. The car has been lowered about 2.5-3".
(some of that is recovered by the 28" slicks)

That extra inch or 2 really helps. It is a nice looking setup

We've done 3" dual X's on cars that were lowered as much as 2" w/ 26" tires before. They never reported any problems, but I'm sure they were careful too! In most cases, the exhaust was no lower than the collectors. So if you can get by w/ full length headers, you'd probably be ok.

The TQ arm is all custom except for the mount on the rear end ( purchased from BMR)as is the true dual X pipe exhaust. Brandon Aders (aka fathead) did it all on my car.

383LQ4SS: From your location, I am assuming this setup and yours was done in the Florida area? No chance that the guys who did it want to come up to NJ, LOL.
Dead Hooker: Excellent job....that is my plan too, if I can only get a TA and duals made like yours.
