Default will the new torque arm give me less exhaust clearance?

It should be about the same clearance! If ya have headers and 3in pipes they are close.Shouldn't be a problem though!Have fun with the install!

My Kooks Y-pipe and BMR trak pak fits great. Plenty of clearance all around. Don't know if you could use the kooks Y with your setup or not. I assume you using a torque arm that still mounts to the trans?
