Re: LS Crossmember

The one I was looking at is for dual exhaust, trying to avoid a headache here.

Re: LS Crossmember

Not sure...but I dont think you can run a double hump with the auto... I know there isnt one out there. So if you want it, you gotta build it yourself.

If you are building everything on your own, then you will avoid headaches by building the crossmember to suit your needs. The aftermarket ones are going to be straight across mostly. And if you want true duals, you'll ahve to pop out around the "chassis rails".

Re: LS Crossmember

Your toast with an auto man. There is no way your going between the frame and the trans pan you have to go below the trans cross member with the pipes or cut and rework your frame to clear which would be a nightmare.

Re: LS Crossmember

yes with the auto you won't have it all tucked up. I had built one on my 700r4 setup and it worked but it was close.
