Default Tex speed y

I have installed my hooker long tubes, tsp ory and mangaflow catback. Question is does the tsp not work with the spoon mid mount torque arm? Or is something not install right? My y pipe hangs way to low to even clear the cross member and the merge is well past the sing dip in the cross member as well.

you can see in picture 3 where the mounts are and where the y meets past it and how low it sits compared to the frame mount for the tunnel brace

My current exhaust with the Spohn torque arm the Y runs between the tunnel brace and the floor pan, not under it like yours appears to. However, mine is reduced down to 2 1/2" right there and still hits the tunnel brace. I read on Spohn's site that you have to have a tunnel brace made for LT's to get the exhaust through properly. BUT, my car is lowered and they say the tunnel brace for LT's will cause ground clearance issues on a lowered car.

Sounds like one of those "damned if you do, damned if you don't" deals to me.

Let me know if you get it worked out.

So tomorrow I will be back under the car with it on a lift this time and see if I can get some ground clearance and the tq arm to mount up. After looking at a pacesetter y on another car it swoops upward at the y and why it has more clearance than the tsp y. But we will see tomorrow. Mor Picts to come.
