Default TSP y-pipe will not fit with Spohn Torque arm

Well I attached pics of how it fits my car. I had to beat the pipe in a whole lot. There was no way the pipe was going on the car without being smashed, I tried for four hours to get it on there. I have a BMR trans brace that relocated the torque arm mount, but it is in the stock location and didnt effect anything on the old setup when I used it with the stock torque arm.

I posted a question a while back about this with no response so I am just hoping to save some from wasting money like I did. I tried to fix a problem and this just made it worse.

Wow...I actually gained clearance with an adjustable BMR TA with my TSP Catted Y. Glad I got BMR!

I don't know what to say other than to just get a BMR?

Yes, they make one for stock exhaust and one for Long tube headers.

i have the trans mounted one, not the chassis mount. i just have a new trans brace that mounts the t/a to it instead of the tranny. from the looks of it it looks like the others are chassis mount. correct me if im wrong

I never have seen a full length Spohn T/A on a car, the only ones we've ever used were the body mount ones or BMR stock length. Neither of those gave problems like those in your pic.

Yea thats what I have seen when I was searching too. I just wanted to give the guys a heads up with the same torque arm as me so they didnt run into the same issues. Wish I had the chassis mount piece now.

Just take your rear springs out and do the heater hose mod, and maby cut off a coil. It will lower the car, look great, and give you more clearance.

Edit - i just noticed your car is SLAMMED, so disreguard my post Got any more pics of it?

actually the car is back up in the air now a little bit more. i was having clearnce issues with that bmr trans brace, they said it wasnt lower than stock and it hangs a lot lower than stock.

i still had the issue even with the car lowered, it was closer but still off by a bit
