Default TQ Arm Relocation Bracket?

I am wondering if anyone is running a relocation bracket, so as not to damage the tailshaft, does this really make that big of deal to save ur tailshaft? I was looking at purchasing one but would like more infornmation...

I'm looking at them myself as well.

Anyone know if they add anymore noise/vibrations/etc. to the car?

I'm running a standard trans mount Spohn adjustable torque arm with a crossmember relocation tqa mount and I love it. I think its quieter than it was bolted to the tail shaft and I have the best of both worlds. Strength and factory smoothness. I think both UMI and Spohn make trans relocation crossmembers

BMR or UMI dont remember which one but, I know the trans tail wont break at the strip. as far as noise, I kept the factory trans mount. I heard poly type will be noisier..... but, if your launching at the street/strip then yes do it!!!

They do break be sure of that. Not only that but the design sucks ***. Its not good for the trans internals to be unnecessarily put through that kind of strain either. Just search out "torque arm relocation" or "tail shaft" theres lots of info on this with pics of torn up tail shafts etc.

Heres a link of interest
