Using BMR Trak Pak T/A without using crossmember?

Is it possible to keep my BMR Trak Pak torque arm, but get rid of the cross member that the kit comes with.

I'm in Hawaii and trying to get True Duals fabbed, and the crossmember has become sort of a problem.

How would I go about attaching the end of the torque arm that's currently secured to the cross-member.

Thanks for any help.. Pics Below..

Maybe you can get an shop to bend some tubing with annother bend in it to clear the other pipe?

Absolutely Not!


You need that crossmember, it's one of the reasons BMR says it has a higher stress rating. You will either have to be creative with your exhaust bends, fabricate a tube/bracket that ties the TA to the transmission crossmember (pointless really) or sell the BMR and purchase a SPOHN unit.

I don't see why you couldn't shorten the crossmember and mount it to the tunnel brace mounts like the Spohn does. But then again, I've always thought that that mounting setup was marginal in terms of strength.
