Default Wolfe Torque arm and true duals

I was wondering how many of you guys are running true dual setups and the Wolfe torque arm. I looked on the site and was curious if it would be interfering with the exhaust. Some people have said the best way to get around issues like this is with torque arm relocation like UMI and BMR offer which is a new crossmember. Doe any1 have pics of this setup with true duals?

thanx

it depends on the duals you are running. i have seen MANY cars running the wolfe ta with 3" duals. i'll be running a wolfe ta with my 3.5" duals but the duals wont be built until the ta is on the car so they can be fitted around it.

I'm running the Wolfe TQ arm with 3.5 inch duals...you just have to clearance a little bit. Or if you wait to fab up the exhaust after you have the TQ arm installed you can move around it. Just make sure the TQ arm is tucked up in there as far as you can get it...

you can make an h-pipe fit in there pertty easy, an X is pretty tough to make fit, but with a little time you can make it work

Here is a picture of our torque arm with a the TSP true dual system. The clearance is very good and it actually add's some addtional clearance over the stock torque arm. This set-up will work excellent with our relocation kit as well. If you have any questions please ask.

Here is a link to this arm- http://www.umiperformance.com/2205.aspx

I considered the UMI BUT DON'T CARE AS MUCH FOR THE WAY IT MOUNTS TO THE CROSSMEMBER

That torque arm doesn't mount to any cross member, it mounts in the stock location to the transmission. Its pretty much one of the only ways to clear a true dual set-up like that.

Yeah,

I really really don't want something mounted to the tranny, I already hate the stock TA
