They won't clear. I tried the same combo on my car a couple years back and it is not possible. No matter how much cutting on the exhaust and spacing on the TA it won't clear. Go with a tranny mounted TA and then get the TA relocation kit that gets it off the tail shaft and you should be good!

I don't think so. If you go with the flat cross member it puts the x-pipe too low and it won't go through the cross member that is bent to allow for the exhaust to go above it. I looked at everything and couldn't make it work. At least not that I thought would work very well.

I wasn't able to do it. I built a custom exhaust with some 3" exhaust pipe, bullets, and turn downs. Wasn't able to put an "X" or "H" in it.
