Default X-pipe & spohn t/a

i know the tunnel mounted spohn t/a will clear all sorts of y pipes, but what about an x pipe? my car has a TSP Rumbler X and i'm not sure if it will clear it or stay off the ground with dms lowereing springs. - thanks

I have never see any type of X-pipe that cleared any type of cross member mounted TQ arm.

You would have to drop that x-pipe so low that it would be scraping the ground. I have looked at this (I have same x-pipe) and based on where my ds loop sits, I would need at least another inch of clearence. Not happening, especially on a lowered car.

i've seen it done a few different ways. one put the x pipe up in front of the trans crossmember and then split the pipes out wide around the torque arm crossmember.

this guy kept em close together on one side.
