The shorter torque arm will hook better, but there are some people that either:
A. Don't like the noise
B. Don't like where the short torque arms mount in the tunnel because it is a weak spot
C. Don't like how low they hang
D. Need room to work their true duals

There are a lot of people that run them, but man...just looking at it, I cringe when I think of what could happen if you drag that on something driving down the road. I will stick with my G2 torque arm...I wish I could use it with this crossmember, but oh well.

I just picked up an older model Yank crossmember
(used, of course) which looks a whole lot beefier.
Which is good and bad I suppose, but I think the
shiny new BMR one looks a little "underwelded". I
think Yank has reintroduced crossmembers now.
I want to use my new one as a base for some added
chassis bracing.

Slight difference in the construction. Don't know if the
new Yank design is similar, all I see on their page is
converters and busted-image placeholders.

I installed a BMR on my car tonite.With a stock t/a and long tubes w/ y-pipe the adjustment is unusable.The t/a will hit the y-pipe in any but the top holes.Its a nice piece no doubt,no added road noise and it hits better with no vibration.A BMR t/a will let you use some BUT not all adjustment holes,this should be advertised for race or true duels.The top holes approx. place the t/a in the stock location.

I just received my yank crossmember for a m6.This is one stout piece.The
front mount position is not adjusable but was tested and put in the optimum
position accordind to yank.I was a bit leary of bmr's construction also thats why I bought the yank.All nicely powdercoated with a cad plated clamshell
mount.This thing is 3 times beefier than bmr's piece with the corisponding
weight penalty.When you have your front wheels being levered off the ground
by the torque arm,I want this to be the attachment point.
