I have had the True Duals since day one.

Torque Arm and new tune with higher shift points are the only changes made to the car since last time at the track.

There is a DEFINITE difference in the way the car feels and the way the car transfers weight with light throttle depression compared to the stock Torque Arm. It definitely "feels" better but no launches with burn outs to see how it does. There are really no good streets anyway around here.

You can defintely feel the trans shift harder in every gear when just cruising around.

I'll have to wait until I hit the track although I am definitely happy with it so far. The track will tell the true story.

Went on with NO problems or modifications. I was real impressed with not having to clearance the tunnel, move the exhaust a lil, etc. it was a direct bolt in and I guess I got lucky that the exhaust shop gave me that much clearance when they installed my exhaust even though I had a stock Torque Arm. I have heard others had to modify or tweak the exhaust a lil for clearance but no such problem on my car.

Good to hear. I have the UMI replacement arm now I just need to get the relocation mount for the tranny. On hard shifts, I can feel the arm slap the body on my car. I dont have the Poly mounts and its still in the stock mount on the transmission. I pretty much baby my car now anyways. Got to get these heads and cam on before I start messing with the TQ arm.

I have the tunnel brace mounted adj. torque arm with safety loop and it made it so the car launched a ton harder compared to stock.

Had to have custom duals done to fit my BMR Track Pak kit. No cross over pipe, but it's 3" to the dumps. Sounds old school.
