2001 Pontiac Trans Am

Check out the shape of the stock Panhard-rod support (middle of photo). Although it has a slight recess where the exhaust passes over, we found it inadequate on our application, and had to rig up the rubber isolation system you see to quell exhaust rattle. Thanks in part to it bolting to a lower point on the frame, the BMR unit (top) provides much more clearance--enough for dual 3-inch exhausts! At the bottom of the photo, the BMR Panhard rod must be adjusted roughly to the length of the stock one for now. An easy way to do this is to place the new rod atop the old one and turn the gold, chrome-moly custom adjuster until the mounting bolts can pass through both. Once this is done, temporarily tighten the jam nuts.
