Spohn....... There T/A for headers is awesome, and gives you clearence to run exaust.

The BMR has a bar that runs all the way across the bottom of the car that really effects things like that. If your talking about T/A's that mount to the tranny, either the BMR or the Spohn will be fine.

The true duals deffinatlly effect it. You'll have to go custom if you get the T/A that mounts like the one pictured above. If you get the one that mounts in the stock location, you can run the TSP duals.

your right the bmr does go all the way across. but the bend in the bar is in the same place as yours. so i dont see where it effects things that much. you chould run your same dual set up with the bmr too.

so A: would the BMR adjustable torque arm mount with the TSP true duals? and B: does SLP have anything better than BMR does?(reason being because i can get like 15% off of BMR stuff with a group purchase from Fbody once in a while)

I wouldn't even put SLP in the sentence with these companies. Another thing, you haven't answered whether or not you are buying the T/A that mounts in the stock location or the one that mounts halfway down the driveshaft tunnel like the picture I posted........
