Default want to run duals but need some help

ok i wana run duals but need a little help thinking of away i can do it.
i have a 98Z with bmr subframs and the track pack with adjustable tq arm
on the track pack the bar goes from one side to the other and welded ot the sub frams.


i want ot know if any one has moded fied something like this to run duals and if so if u got any pics and how? right now it is imposable cause if u go under the bar the pipes whould hit everthing on raod just about.


now i got a idea and your opions are welcome and ill try and explain this best i can.

i thought about takeing the carpets out and cutting the bar the tqarm is on shorter and take some flate steel one peace for under car and in side car drill them so they can be bolted down tight and secrue whould need 4 peaecse for both sides. bolt it up and then take some othe steel and weld it ot the underneath 1 peice on each side. then weld the bar to them 2 pices. and i thinking it might give me anough room to run the xpipe and pipes along the tunel of car.

let me know what u all think of have done thanks

I believe that the board member Mike K. fabbed up true duals with his BMR Trak Pak.

Me on the other hand, just cut the damn thing out from the car. It was more trouble than it was worth (to me it was). That damn cross member was always scrubbing on stuff.

Mike mounted his crossmember to his subframes with brackets so that he could remove the crossmember easier and to create a little space for the true duals. From the pictures that I saw, his x-pipe was mounted right above the cross member where the hump is.

Just search for a post by Mike K.

Good Luck
