Hello,

Well great to hear and I will be glad to help.

How do you drive the vehicle? What type of driving does the vehicle see the majority of the time? Is the vehicle lowered?

Let me know and I will be glad to help.

Thank you!
Ryan

I just noticed you have dual exhaust, the exhaust system is most likely in the way to run any type of tunnel mounted or short style torque arm. The item I would recommend is item # 2205- www.umiperformance.com/2205 this item is very street friendly but at the same time works excellent at the track. It also should allow you plenty of room for the dual exhaust and shouldn't interfer. Take a look at the link, in the installation pictures there are pictures of this item isntalled with a true dual system. Does this look like your set-up?

Thanks!

They are the same torque arm, just one is adjustable. The Non-adjustable is pre-set at -2 degrees of pinion angle. However for a car that seems some drag use the adjustable will allow you to make changes to help the car hook correctly.

Hope that helps!
