Default spohn's new torque arm (stock mounting location) won't fit with my headers

anyone using this torque arm? what exhaust do you have?
i have jet hot headers with mufflex y pipe with cats, and the front of the torque arm is hitting the cat (drivers side).

it hits so bad i can't even hook it up. the front mounting location won't come down enough, so i can't even bolt it up because it hits the cat. i drilled out the rivets in the torque arm front mount to put the new poly bushing in, so i can't even use my stock torque arm anymore. so i can't drive the car

That so sucks dude, you just can't get a break when it comes to these torque arms.
The thing is most people who get to the point where they want/need a beefier torque arm also usually don't have cats, or at least have them located differently or at/near the stock location.

Thats the bad part about aftermarket parts. You never know what will work with what, espeacially when you put big beefy cats where they weren't originally located.
