Red face Body mounted torque arm for 4" y-pipe?

So I already have a BMR full length TA with the BMR crossmember. But I am really tired of it. It's very aggrevating having to take it off to pull the trans, and is just plain in the way. I would liek to go with a body mounted TA, such as the Spohn. But just not sure if my Kooks y-pipe with 4" outlet to a 4" mufflex catback will work with it? Anyone with a similar setup care to chime in? Thanks.

I have a MWC one and the crossmember fits ok, I do get slight banging from my exhaust but its very minimal, I think it will clear itself with time, I dont know about the spohn piece.

Ok so your saying that you are running a 4" piece of exhaust through the crossmember?

its a 4 inch chambered muffler and it barely clears it. So you may have to do some clearenceing to the exhaust or crossmember. I did it to the member since it was just a matter of cutting one of the support tubes for the DS loop.

Do you have any pics of this? I dont quite understand what your saying here...I've never seen a MWC TA. But on the Spohn units theres a "U" in the crossmember right before the mounting point on the passenger side. It's where the intermediate pipe runs through. There would be no way in a hell for a muffler or bullet of any type to fit in there...

I have a UMI tunnel mount with a 4" flowmaster merge through it, Stenod performance did the exhaust work and it doesn't bang at all.
