I mean, you easily got 2x the material in the SFC's and more complex brackets on the SFC's. I am completely dumbfounded at the pricetag. I want one, but I think I'll just have to browse the for sale section and hope to get lucky enough to find a used one at a more realistic price

Your drive shaft loop should be further down the line and not interfere with this at all. Again guys, this is replacing the existing transmission mount that is already on your car. If your duals and drive shaft loop are already clearing the existing transmission brace, then you will have absolutely no problems with this brace clearing them. Its just a stronger piece with provisions for a torque arm mount.
And there is a sh*t ton of pics of this piece on UMI's site, just follow the link I posted on the first page.

To clarify, DVST8OR doesn't mean the actual "transmission mount" as you can still use the factory rubber piece. You can see it clearly in the pics.
Just caught my eye, as i'm going back to the rubber to cut down on this vibration. I'm also getting this UMI piece...and i'd hate to have to use a poly mount.

OKay, so thanks to this thread - I decided to go ahead and order the UMI TA relocation bracket for myself!
I ordered the black style, all my suspension parts, stock or aftermarket are black in color. Got it installed on Monday, and have been driving it around for the past 2 days so far.
I was learly about any added noise or harsh vibrations that something like this might add...To my pleasant surprsise, there is no added noise or vibrations!
I even dare say, its handling a bit smoother. Maybe thats just in my head, but I'm very happy with the way its running right now.
