1993-2002 GM F-Body Tunnel Brace Mounted Torque Arm w/ DSL – Long Tube Header Set-ups
 
Track abuse, street abuse, or just flat-out abuse, this torque arm is designed to handle it all! Eliminate unwanted traction problems by adding a UMI Performance tunnel brace mounted torque arm. This aftermarket torque arm replaces the flimsy factory torque arm while adding strength, rigidity and eliminating suspension flex. UMI’s torque arm design relocates the front torque arm mounting point off the transmission tail shaft protecting the transmission and preventing transmission damage. A shorter torque arm improves weight transfer on acceleration. General Motors tail shaft mounted design works great for a stock driven vehicle however it was not designed to take the abuse of a drag car. UMI’s tunnel mounted torque arm bolts to existing floor pan holes using 3/16” thick mild steel laser cut mounting plates and metric grade 10.9 hardware. The torque arm attaches to the supplied cross brace using polyurethane bushings on both the supplied cross brace and torque arm to help absorb noise. The torque arm rear mount is 3/8” thick CNC machined mounting plates and are appropriately drilled to fit the stock rear ends as well as aftermarket 12-Bolt’s, 9” Rear-end housings and Strange S60.

Exhaust clearance: P/N 2203 is designed with a drop down front cross member and built in drive shaft loop to clear virtually all aftermarket header/y-pipe set-ups on the market.  It will also clear most merge collectors such as QTP and TSP y-pipes. The built in drive shaft loop will not clear factory y-pipe and y-pipes that bolt to the factory manifolds on 1998-2002 models. P/N 2203 does reduce ground clearance, if vehicle has a tighter fitting y-pipe set up please see P/N 2201.
