Want aftermarket torque arm but will it fit with true dual setup?

I'm going to be running a pair of texas speed longtubes with a true dual exhaust setup. I want to get an aftermarket torque arm and preferably one that is relocated off of the tranny and on the crossmember. I also have a moser 12 bolt rear end that the torque arm has to mount to. Can this be done or do I need to just run a y-pipe?

Re: Want aftermarket torque arm but will it fit with true dual setup?

Depends on how the front torque arm mount attaches to the chassis. The Spohn, for example mounts to the pads for the stock sheet metal "g-load" brace. That will not interfere with duals, unless you try and mount an X-pipe right under it. Other brands may attach the front mount to SFC's, meaning there may be an interference with dual exhaust.

This is the extreme case of a Spohn TA front mount, dropped because it used to provide clearance for a 4" intermediate pipe from a Mufflex 4" catback. It's also an older design using square turing rather than round tubing. As you can see, there is no interference at all with the exhaust.
