Which torque arm ...
Which torque arm ... Okay so I've been looking into getting a torque arm but to be honest I am not sure which one to get. I've searched around but still haven't come to a conclusion.
I don't think I need an adjustable one seeing as I don't track my car as of right now (might take it once this year and 2 or 3 next). I daily drive the car and want the ta also to get some more ground clearance on my x-pipe.

That's what I was thinking, but I heard that with the trans mounted ta you take the chance of breaking the tail shaft of the trans. Is this true only for cars who make a ton of power?

Thank you!

Like mentioned this is true but with a higher power level and drag racing. For a daily driver you should be just fine with the torque arm mounted to the transmission. We offer a nice non-adjustable unit seen in the link below, if you would have any questions please ask.

Will this torque arm give me more clearance then the stock ta?

I would recommend a full-length TA here as well. But I'd prefer to see you get an adjustable one.... Set ones are just that and have some pinion angle change built in that the stock arms do no. Not all cars are tolerant of that change for various. If you have a vibration coming from the pinion angle change--you are stuck with it. An adjustable isn't that much more expensive and you never have to worry about any pinion angle vibrations as you can set it up to be just like a stock one if you need to (just a lot stiffer and better able to plant power).
I also carry the UMI non-adjustable as well if you do opt for that one, but again I'd think about this one......
Here's the link to the adjustable, the non-adjustable and all the other options can be found on the main page.

Okay thanks Sam. What about the exhaust clearance question?
I'm not sure I completely understand your exhaust question.... The full length TA doesn't hang any lower than a stock TA and runs in the same location so ground clearance is no issue.
I'm wondering if you have some issue with your stock TA hitting your X-pipe, is that what you asking about?
If so, then it's an X-pipe fitment issue, not a TA issue and an aftermarket one won't cure it (after all if this is indeed the case whoever made the X-pipe couldn't even make it fit with OE GM parts).

Was I on the right track with my thinking? I guess so based on you response.

I just installed a UMI adjustable trans-mounted TA. And actually it does have SLIGHTLY lower, but only at the rear-end where the pinion angle adjustment is made, but it's nothing I have encountered any problems with.. I definitely love it, made a huge difference in my car... BUT that's coming from a completely broken/cracked torque arm, so anything would have been better..
I would definitely get an adjustable one, because you will always have the option to adjust it in the future, if needed be..
I definitely will be getting the relocation bracket later down the road, mainly because I want the trans to stay planted versus pulling up when high rpm shifting..

torque arm and relocation questions i was wondering if anyone sells a torque arm that goes to the tranny and can also be relocated down the road, i dont have the money for both right now....also how much do these things weigh compared to stock ? and can you get the one with the rod end rather than poly bushing ?

Let me know if I can help anymore. Thanks!

Ryan said it.... You can relocate a stock TA, or any full length TA that is a stock replacement (mounts to the stock location) at any time with one of the 2207 or 2208 brackets which are for LS1 stick/auto. There are LT1 versions too.
