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.

Awesome, always great when manufacturers can revise designs for the users.

any chance on selling just the curved bars for those who want and have the ability to modify their old BMR kmember?

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

Nice to see how much room this really opens up with minimal remodeling.
