Willing to buy but need to know, Will Your Adj T/A w/ the DS safetly loop clear QTP LT's, their Catted Y-pipe w/ the flowmaster merge, and GMMG? I've seen spohns and have been told theres won't fit or it may not so many don''t biuy it. I am on a Need To KNow basis. I'd be willing to buy very soon. Also what is the rear mounting kit and is it worth it. I need to mate this w/ a Strange 12 Bolt or Moser 9".
How much abuse can this thing take as well?
Thank you very much

Thanks for the interest
We have a customer now trying this with the Flowmaster Merge and I will know next week sometime, its hard to tell. The QTPs won't be an issue, just the merge.
I do recommend the hardware if your rear-end uses the straight through bolt design as the stock rear-end, I can't remember if Strange does or not..I think it does. The rear hardware kit will not work with the Moser.
The torque arm can take all the abuse you can put to it.
Hope that helps!

Thanks again Ryan.

If It doesn't fit, whoever is first to make one w/ a DS saftey loop is who I'm buying from that is if the price is right. Hopefully its UMI there T/A seems much nicer than Spohn's but you never know.

Well everyone the UMI TQ does fit with the QTP headers and the huge Flowmaster "mongoloid" of a merge collector. 
This TQ cross brace is built with the up most quality I have ever seen in a TQ arm. I am glad I decided to wait rather than settle for another tranny mount TQ arm.
Good job UMI on this awesome TQ arm setup.
Thanks again Ryan for sending this out so I could try it out first before making a purchase not knowing if it would work or not.

Cool, did yours have the D\S Loop or was it the one without it? Also, did you notice a big difference in drivetrain noise after you installed it?

Our torque # 2202- The long tube header set-up with the drop down design with clear fine with the Flowmaster Merge however will not clear when the front drive shaft loop is added. This is what we have gathered so far.
Hope that helps!

Sorry, Ryan

Think you guys could be the 1st to make a DS safety loop on this thing thatll clear tghe Flowmaster merge? like it can run up the inner wall of the tunnel and then from a 80-90° angle bend to fit the loop?
