Default X Pipe and Tunnel Mounted Torque Arm

Anyone running a tunnel mounted UMI torque arm with a x pipe? Anyone have a picture of the clearance you have?

I'm not running that TA, but I had a custom TA made to work with my TSP x-pipe since my other didn't fit.

He's a sponser here....Midwest Chassis. Eric's a good guy to work with!

Ok great, if you are getting it custom made what we do is recommend to purchase the torque arm first and have the X-pipe built around it. It is the only way to get a X-pipe to clear our tunnel mounted torque arm.. we have had many people do this and it worked out great. The torque arm I recommend is one of these- www.umiperformance.com/2202 or www.umiperformance.com/2203

If you decide to go with a longer torque arm such as our tranny mounted one you will have no issues at all. The clearance is good with the Midwest set-up because it is not really a shorter torque arm.. it is a longer stock length arm bolted into a transmission cross-member. Our set-up is a true short tunnel mounted torque arm.

If I can help anymore please ask. Thank you!

It will definitely have to be a custom setup.
