Need Torque Arm Help I am wanting to put a body/tunnel mount torque arm on my daily driver firebird, it has long tubes. I am looking at the Spohn: http://www.spohn.net/shop/1998-2002-...ersY-Pipe.html
and the UMI performance equivalence. Does anyone have any opinions on either or complaints. All input is appreciated

I have the Spohn. It does a good job of helping with traction but because of the link system it makes clunking noises sometimes at low speeds while going through parking lots, etc. I put rubber pads under the body mounts to reduce vibration (it helped). I started with the cross brace they recommend for long tubes but it scraped too much since I'm lowered. I changed to the straight cross brace and still had plenty of clearance for the y-pipe and no more scraping (yes I have long tubes). Overall I'm satisfied. If I had to do it again I might try to avoid the link set-up at the front to get rid of the clunking--this is a DD also.
