Quietest torque arm options.. I'm wondering about welding a crossmember mounted torque arm to my subframe connectors. Would this be quieter than a torque arm mounted to a transmission crossmember?
Seems to me that it would be quieter since the load is spread out across the 4 subframe points as opposed to the trans crossmember which is right under the seats.

The crossmember mounted one would be louder. The noise from the torque arm is going through one bushing. And then everything is solidly attached from there... crossmember to subframe connecters, to subframes. Noise from a tailshaft mounted torque arm goes through the poly bushing on the tranny, then through the tranny, through the soft tranny mount, then through the tranny mount crossmember into the car, or it can go all the way up through the motor mounts. There are many more noise deadening objects for a tranny mounted torque arm than a crossbrace mounted one.

Right, i know tailshaft is the quietest... but I'm talking about relocation crossmember or weld on crossmember, which is louder?
Torque arm --> poly bushing --> torque arm relocation transmission crossmember
Or
Torque arm --> poly bushing --> crossmember --> subframe connectors.
