Default New BMR K-member

I asked BMR to build me a K-member with side tubes that started off straight down and then curved in to replace the current design of tubes that ran straight/diagonally across.

BMR did an awesome job on it and they are going to make it part of there line.

Opens up some serious room for downpipes-

Another part added to the to-do list now.

Do these kmembers clear some forward truck manifolds? If so, the A/C is getting the axe.

i think the way those kmembers are you can route the exhuast with a c6 manafold on the passenger side around the AC, then route the downpipe around it to, lease it looks like from the pics.

I cut the bars off my k member two years ago and just bent new ones and tigged them on. Its nearly identical to yours. It was the only way to get a 5" exhaust to fit on my set up. I believe the bmr fab project fbody did a similar thing also when he was building his turbo kit. I know at least some of his bars were changed around.

I like, looks like it would definately help for more downpipe room for the TTi race kit as well.
