Default Lanes duals and Torque arm selection?

For those with Lane's True duals....what Aftermarket T/A are you guys using? It "appears" as if I could use just about any T/A...but I don't want to buy a BMR heavy duty or a Spohn H/D and find out that it won't fit.

Anybody have a PROVEN combo?

I don't have lanes, I have a Dr Gas kit... but they are very similar I believe. I use a chassis mount MAC torque arm and it works great! Only draw back is it isn't adjustable. It comes with a built in DS loop though!

The whole arm is a VERY stout piece.

Do you have a Dr. Gas over the axel kit??? Tell more about it! Customized or not, let us in on it.

I have it dumping before the axle. It's so easy to do.

I used the universal 3" 3" kit with moroso spiral flows. I cut the pipes that go into the X from the sprial flows so the tube mufflers would tuck up in the tunnel nicely on the sides of the torque arm and driveshaft.

I then had to cut the passenger side elbow about 6" or so because the passenger side is longer or sticks out farther on the QTP LT's.

Then the driver side header flares out a little bit so you'd ether have to make your own custom bent elbow there or just cut the pipe on an angel to mate up with the LT ok. I just cut it on an angle. My track times speak for themselves, i'm not losing power.

I put in a little bit of work on the X setup just so I could get the mufflers exactly where I wanted them, then a shop did the rest of the welding, hangers, flanges, etc etc. for $100.

In the end the duals cost me about $400 complete out the door.

I had a Random Tech TA and it's an easy fit with duals. BMR's use a thicker tubing, but should work fine too.

I had the same problem, I wanted to get my T/A off the tailshaft, but didnt want to have my duals redone, I just ran across this T/A yesterday
It is the Alston Tunnel Mount, www.alstonracing.com
