Looking at pictures of the mufflex y it appears it won't work. Kinda pissed about that but what can I do. Looks like I will be going back to the stock setup for the crossmember and torque arm mount.

I took mine to a muffler shp and took some different angle bends and the muffler guy cut out a section and had it fixed in less than half an hour. Just have some different bends ready and it is not a big problem.

You wouldn't happen to have or be able to post a pic would you? Just want an idea of what bends I would need and how it will turn out.

no way is my mufflex y going to work with my spohn torq arm/crossmember. hits the cross member itself and the drive shaft loop.

Mufflex y-pipe and the UMI torque arm cross member will not work. I just got done trying it. I am thinking of taking the y-pipe to a shop and see if they can make it work. any other suggestions?
