Default Pics Needed of UMI TA

Hey everyone. Im looking for pics of UMIs body mounted torque arm. Id like to see pics of both the bent and straight one w/ the car on the ground so I can see how much ground clearance each one has before I decided which one to pick up. Thanks a lot.

I posted a picture below of each item installed from under the car... unfortunately we don't have any with the vehicle on the ground but I am sure someone else does. If you have any additional questions please let me know.

Thank you!
Ryan

Item #2203- Designed with additional clearance for long tube header set-ups



Item #2201- Designed for Kook's long tubes and other well fitting y-pipe set-ups

Thanks a lot Ryan. Im thinking of going with the flat one for the clearance. Ive only seen one pic of the curved one on the ground and it did look pretty low. Hopefully Ill get some pics on here so I can check them both out before I pick one up.

The #2203 will work fine with the American Racing headers... but I am also pretty sure the #2201 model will clear it as well if ground clearance is a issue.

Hope that helps!

I guess, I will ask. Which TA would you recommend for xs headers (pacesetter design)? The above unit looks great!

The #2201 model will clear with the Pacesetters and Pacesetter y-pipe... however if there is a mix in brands I always recommend the #2203 to be safe.

Let me know if I can help anymore. Thank you!

Unfortunately the Flowmaster merge is very large and will not clear with our built in drive shaft loops. You would need to go with item #2202 seen here- www.umiperformance.com/2202

Let me know if you would have any additional questions. Thank you!

It won't be terrible but it will most likely me your lowest point of the car... take speed bumps slow or avoid them if possible. We have to build this unit like this in order to clear most of the exhaust systems on the market.. some fit better than others. Now if the exhaust companies would just start building there parts around ours instead us building ours around theres we wouldn't have these issues

Thats just what Im looking for. I take it thats the bent one for LTs correct? Is that a UMI piece or another make? Would you be able to snap a pic from the front of the car so I could get an idea about how low it is overall? Thanks a lot.

Yes, it is the bent one from UMI to clear my Edlebrock LT's.

I'll get you a pic tomorrow morning from the front. As long as you don't make fun of the bugs all over the front of the car. LOL.
