Default Torque Arms that clear ARH

Which tunnel mounted torque arms clear 1-7/8 ARH with catted y-pipe on a 2002 Camaro, 10 bolt, auto?

Hello,
I installed a UMI brand with my ARH and it fit issue free. However, I installed the torque arm before the header.

Thats like asking what front wheels clear which back brakes. Makes no sense cause the torque arm and the headers/Y take up space on different parts of the car.

I just recently had a shop confirm for me that our TA011 and TA013 chassis mount torque arms will work with the ARH headers and Y-pipes. However any full length style torque arm will clear them without any issues as well

I don't have a 1 7/8 but I have a UMI adjustable chassis mounted torque arm with saftey loop that clears, since it is the y pipe that you are worrying about.

doesnt clear the lip into my storage unit though

Does your tunnel mount torque arm mounting bracket go above or below the exhaust?

The MWC standard tunnel mount setup does in fact go below the exhaust, but we have had a crossmember that goes above the pipe(s) for several years now. It all really depends on the install height and design of your exhaust, but I am sure we can accommodate your needs.

For certain people with certain exhaust my bassani td's and kooks td's wont clear the x members by going over them due to their positions. I spoke with Eric@BMR about this when I met him. The under option like MWC and others offer are the only solution. I think if Eric and BMR made a good drop mount to clear more of TD setups they'd have a real winner with that design

Like mentioned all full length torque arms will clear with no issues.

The ARH system is very nice and should tuck up tighten. If you can take a few measurements out tunnel mounted # 2201 should clear with no issues. We just built in more clearance as well.

I have a picture with some measurements... just need to find it!

We have a crossmember to cover just about any exhaust.
