Default Torque arm bent?

I wanted to know if you guys could tell if my tq arm is bent by looking at it. Also when I get on it hard there is lots of vibration coming from back there. At normal speed it is fine just when I am on the gas hard. Do you think my tq arm is flexing so much that it is throwing off the pinion angle causing the vibration? Also when I shift from drive to reverse it is pretty harsh then squats and vise versa. I plan on getting an adj one but just wanted to know if this is indeed my problem. Thanks.

it looks bent, but im not 100% ill be under my car sat and ill take some pictures if you still need to. I'm just curious though.... you bought a turbo before replacing your stock torque arm? and on a side note... do you have 2 exhausts or are you running welds from stock Y to torque exhaust to build back pressure

Yes I did.
Not to sure what your asking? It is a 2.5inch y to a 2.5 all the way to the rear mount turbo, then a 3inch down pipe, all wraped and sealed. No mufflers or cats.
