Default T.Arm vs True Duals

Looking for a independent mounted TA that will work with LT headers and True Duals. Like the Spohn 405-FRL not sure it will clear the TDs though? Anyone want to offer up some to look for?

Good luck. I have been trying to figure out how to do this with the BMR TA for a long time. BMR and Texas speed say no go.

I am considering picking up a Spohn 405 Model and making the corssbar out of narrower box tubing so it hugs (more like almost built into) the undercarriage of the car. Neither of my TD tubes go into the trans/driveshaft tunnel so it should be good that way. I would think with all the people having TDs and racing someone would chime in as to a good clearance model TA *banging head*

Look into the Alston arm, it has good clearance.

Not sure what I'm gonna do with my Spohn yet, modding/remaking the crossmember is a very good possibility right now.

John, what brand DSLoop is that? Is the Alston connecting to the DS Loop or a mount up under the trans tunnel? ANd how would this compare to ones like Spohn (your average 60' decrease). Thanks, will be contacting FLP soon as I can.

It's been a while, I believe it is a Metco. The Alston is a trans tunnel mount setup. I don't have a Spohn but Spohn's stuff is very good.
