Default 4th Gen Panhard relocation

Which one leaves the most room for dual 3" exhaust to clear? I've been thinking and before I my next exhaust built I want to make sure I can bolt back on a panhard bar if I want to meet rules in a class that won't allow my watts link. Just trying to plan ahead since my build got extended.

This only way my three inch cleared without hitting the arm, made plenty of room and easy install.

I think Midwest Chassis has a wishbone setup that you weld in between the frame rails and attaches to the top of the rear end that looks like it may give a lot of clearance. If not SW Race cars has them.

It needs to be one that bolts in like my watts link or I can't swap back after the event. This all came from Drag Week being close to me this year. I have no plans on winning in any class, but if I want to try it just to finish. I'll have to fit into the class.

I don't see me being able to get the car finished, but I'll move forward on it and see where I land.

qweedqwag, what others did you try out?

I don't see street mentioned any where in the original post.

Here's my BMR, Very similar to the UMI.

TRZ certainly wouldn't work and my first thought was I wouldn't trust it on the stock mounts turning. Then I read you can't.

Thanks for the picture. I'll try and compare that to the room I have now. If the standard one won't clear it certainly look to me like bending a bar to make one wouldn't be that tough and I'll just make sure we try to be as tight as we can with the exhaust unless I can find a used one for cheap.

I'll throw founders in there as well. That's what i went with when i was having clearance issues routing 3" exhaust. It's very similar to UMI/BMR and such.
