Kooks Fbody Y w/ welded-in cats and true merge - and torque arm crossmember

$250

This started out as a Kooks ORY and I had Goodfellas Garage on here weld in high-flow magnaflow cats and a Flowmaster dual 3 inch to 4 inch merge. Cats and merge only have about 2,000 miles on them. My cam-only car dyno'd 380 to the wheels through this pipe. Sounded fantastic and there's no rasp through the Magnaflow cat-back. Car was silent on the highway but plenty loud at wot. Very mellow tone.

On the car:

Here's how it sounded when running poorly at the track - before it made the quoted power above.

Also, clearance was tight but it didn't bang when aligned properly. Ground clearance was good. Never looked like it was hanging. The torque arm crossmember bottomed out before the cats.

Bump.

Fbody Spohn Torque Arm Crossmember - $100

$100.

I used this torque arm crossmember with a 4-inch Flowmaster Y-pipe. I had enough clearance to avoid rubbing with the big pipe. I switched to the straight crossmember and smaller exhaust to avoid horrible City of Chicago roads where the car now lives. Would not be a problem at stock ride height - my car is lowered. There are a few scrapes on the bottom where it hit the road a few times, though nothing a little paint could touch up. This has the optional driveshaft safety loop.

From Spohn:

Spohn Torque Arm Front Crossmember - Long Tube Headers & Y-Pipe - 1993-2002 GM F-Body: Camaro & Firebird. This torque arm front crossmember is for the 1993-2002 F-Body Camaro and Firebird running long tube headers/y-pipe set ups.
