Does anyone know of a manufacturer of a Torque Arm that mounts to the Transmission Crossmember directly... as opposed to the Trans (M6) itself?
I've seen the Spohn model that mounts to their floorpan "crossbar," but I suspect there'll be conflicts with duals, either X type or side-by-side.
Any reason why using the Heim joint type end of the Torque Arm & mounting it to a bracket that's welded to the Trans crossmember wouldn't work? Anybody tried that?
Thanks !!

Hello,
I think we have just what you are looking for... this is a new transmission crossmember that incudes a intergrated torque arm that excepts factory style torque arms but relocates it off the transmission. Please take a look at the link below and if you have any questions please contact us via PM or phone.

If you are looking for just the torque arm, we have designed our transmission mounted torque arm around the TSP system to not only clear it but also add addtional clearance to allow the user to tuck the system up tigther to the floor. This item can be seen here- www.umiperformance.com/2205
If you are looking for a relocation kit they will all clear as well like Nick mentioned and they can be seen here- http://www.umiperformance.com/produc...category_id=46
If you have any questions please ask and I will be glad to help.
Thank you!

Hey Ryan, why did yall go with allen bolts for the bushing clam? Kind of annoying IMHO.
Anyway, I installed mine today along with the UMI adjustable torque arm. My custom duals cleared everything fine, but it made install a little harder. I ended up bolting the clam to the relocation bracket and then sliding it on to the end of the torque arm. Kept the bottom two allen bolts loose untill the bracket was all bolted up. Made it easy to move the bracket around to line up the holes. I was by myself and didn't attempt the raise and lower of the rear end method as per the instructions.
And I would definately recommend this setup to anyone with dual exhaust. Beautiful pieces and install was relatively easy.

I'm looking at 1 by a local welder, supposed to clear all exhausts and it's a completely new trans crossmember.
here is a pic of it installed on a car (it's not the welders website, just a pic)

I am looking to put an after market torque arm on my car as well as LCA for the first mods on this car. Its a 2000. I dont like the stock style torque arm bushing though. It looks like the black one pictured has a swing pivot kinda like a rear leaf spring. Are there any more pics of this arm and who is making it. Thanks. My first post WOO HOO.

Hello,
Here is a list of torque arms we make. The shorter tunnel mounted torque arms towards the bottom are the ones you are referring to. If you have any questions regarding these please let me know and I will be glad to help.

My car has a custom 3 inch stainless exhaust. My brother has a UMI tunnel mount kit on his 02 (nice kit) and there is no way with the exhaust on my car that the UMI kit will fit and Im not going to replace the exhaust. I like the design of the black one and because it is trans X-member mounted I know (hope) this design will clear. Can someone post more info.
