What torque arm to use with LT headers...

I have just finished getting my 91 T/A on the road, and it has LT hooker super comps, and the mufflex y-pipe.

also, what should i do for a DS loop? i'm thinking about making my own seriously...

anyways, what torque arm shoudl i use? and are there any that will change the torque arm connection to the crossmember?

The spohn torque arm won't clear hooker longtubes and mufflex y pipe.

I don't think any crossmember mounted torque arm will, your only choice is a transmission mounted torque arm. Which, by the way, we are currently designing one

Look into the BMR trak pak. It mounts to its own crossmember that needs to be welded into your SFCs, it might clear.

I am in the same boat so to speak. I am running true duals and am needing a driveshaft loop first, and will eventually get a tourqe arm.

Do yourself a favor and get a Random Tech adj. torque arm and have a DS loop custom fabbed at your local exhaust shop. Then powder coat the loop and bolt it back on.

Thats what I'm doing. I have Hooker longtubes, a six-speed, and custom mufflex y-pipe with SPD conversion X-member and it's a pain to find a DS loop that works with all of that. Just my $.02
