custom crossmember
anyone here yet has made a cross memember to run duals through? to get the exhaust to tuck up any higher. i know someone you could fabricate me one but it help that much. the problem is my car is lowered, and i still havent installed my dougs lt's.

Re: custom crossmember
I'm sure there are more, but check out this thread:
https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/body...-phase-30.html
Start on page 30 for the exhaust/crossmember fab. Or start on page 1 if you have a few hours to kill
. He's doing a hell of a job.

Re: custom crossmember
I'm not sure how else you could do it. If you could post a pic or two of the underside of the car, that would help a lot.

Re: custom crossmember
ive found a way around this with my auto. but u cant do anything with the crossmember. there just isnt enough room around the trans for this in the farthest end by the crossmember.
look at iroc a 86 berli... his thread a few down "comp eng subframes" we've talked about his and he went the same way i did. for maximum ground clearance u have to notch the stock subframes and run it to the outside of the trans. pics are in the thread. but dont knotch your stock subframes unless u have installed good SFC that attach farther ahead from the point your knotching. my exhaust tucks up so nice it, it actually sits higher than my trans pan. and im running an xpipe and true dual 3" exhaust with hedman LTs.

Where is iroc a 86 berli? I could not find it.
Also does anyone here and or where I can find a custom make dual exhaust crossmember for my TPI with the D&D T56 trans that can attach or bolt the TA on the crossmember.
I know Hawks sells a dual crossmember, but it does not have a TA to bolt on it.
Let me know thanks.
