Have it and love it. A lot of guys including me went with the the shorter torque arm with the relocation bracket. It looks cool but if you have a lowered car clearance is a big issue. Roads with speed bumps, dips, and that arent maintained you will bottom out on the crossmember. I just recently replaced my umi system with the bmr long torque arm and relocation crossmember at the trans. I have a ton more clearance with that system.

I'm lowered 1.25" and have scraped once, didn't even know it till I was checking something under the car. Not bad though, just a little scratch.
I would skip the UMI or BMR tunnel brace and buy a midwest chassis since theirs goes over the driveshaft instead of under. Then your exhaust won't bang on a hard launch. I've got mine furred down 1" and it still hits sometimes. Lowest part of the exhaust is by the rear axle anyway.

I can't wait to put mine on. Waiting for headers. Yes the tips are slip on now. The kit looks sick! Look at that X. Not sure what dsl I should buy the bmr or mwc. What are your opinions?

They are now slip on. Instead of 12 inch mufflers they are now 10inch mufflers with slip on tips. But I ordered mine with no muffler after hearing a buddy's set up. Thanks Cody! I'm out of town working now but when I get home I will post up pic.

Seriously thinking of going with this system myself, even got great pricing from Brandon at MD Speed including 1 7/8 Kooks headers.
My question is how are the long term results from people having the set up over a lengthy period, any concerns or is it like the day installed ?
