I've had the BMR Track Pack for a couple of years mounted to a cross brace and sub frame connectors. Also one of their weld in drive shaft loops.
No issues except it does transmit a lot of noise . But I must say I have friends with other brands which use a floor mount etc and they all make noise.
I think that just about any unit with a solid mount is going to transmit noise but for really good 60' its the price you pay.

I just broke my Spohn in half so I'm going with the BMR Xtreme duty. Other than it breaking in half no problems! It did break after a couple of wheels up launches so it was under some stress. Got alot of friends running the BMR without any issues.

I'll try ,the quality and pricing is excellent !! I've got a B.M.R. 'K' member and the welds on the U.M.I. products are definitly better looking.

I have heard that same thing for 10 years now and have never seen it happen or seen any post a thread where it happened. I think it's an internet myth.

Having owned pieces from all three brands, UMI hands down.

I have a couple issues, but they are minor in nature. I'm giving feedback to Ryan to maybe help improve on an already great product.

Bob from EPP has posted pics in the past where the tranny tailshaft broke due to the TA. It might be on his website. That is the only pic I've seen.

Rob, I have the UMI torque arm with the DS loop with Hooker LT's and Hooker Y,UMI frame ties, it all fits great. Fit and finish were spot on. Set pinion angle and no problems.
