i have full american racing headers and y-pipe and it slightly rubs on my umi tunnel mounted torque arm. the ARH y-pipe merges very close to the torque arm so it is a snug fit. it will fit fine. but once the car warms up everything sags a little more i guess (bushings warm up and become more flexible). i need like a rubber bump stop to sit right on the crossbrace of the TA. however, i will only be able to use one that is 1/4-1/2" tall. does anyone make something like this?

my BMR did the same so i moved the bar up one more set of holes on the trans crosmember

from how it sounds you may have an aftermarket crossmember. i have the stock crossmember and a tunnel mounted torque arm. i don't see how i could adjust anything.

You can try a piece of heat proof rubber and wrap it around the exhaust or crossmember where it is hitting. The rubber will absorb the road noise. My one Mustang had a similar issue in the rear on the gas tank. I took a piece of rubber and fitted it around the pipe... I then put two holes in it and used gromets on the holes. I wrapped the rubber around the exhaust pipe and bolted it together so it would stay.. it was a riggin' but it worked good for me. You can get heat proof rubber from www.mcmaster.com

Hope that helps!

That's one of the advantages of having a full length arm w/relocation mount versus a floor pan mounted torque arm....

i have a feeling i would have went with a full length torque arm if i knew ahead of time they were going to be quieter and would have more options for the install. thanks for the responses. i will probably get some of that rubber and see how it works.
