spohn torque arm problems. need advice

hi, i just put on a chassis mounted spohn torque arm today. i bought the one for long tube headers. my car is lowered and where the cross member bends to clear your y-pipe is only about 2" off the ground. i only bought this one because i do have long tube headers. the funny thing is the cross-member for the std exhaust would have worked fine. it would have had no problems clearing my y-pipe. i was leaving my friends shop and was only driving about 10 mph and i hit a man hole cover and it brought my car to a dead stop. i can't even go over any speed bumps at all. i might be able to cut the bend portion out and weld in some straight pipe. any one have this problem??? what did you do to fix it??? any help would be really appreciated. thanks,mike

Sorry to hear about your problem. I have the straight across brace and your right, no problems with the y-pipe running through there. Good luck.

If the straight front mount will clear the exhaust, send Steve Spohn an e-mail and ask if he will sell you just the front mount.

For that kind of money I would look for materials and a guy that could weld one up for a fair price.
