While at Bowling Green in 2005, I've seen an aluminum crossmember at Aggresive Performance trailer.

A tubular one would be too thick. The one shown has a double hump needed for dual exhaust.

To thick???I think not!!!Mine are 1 3/4 DOM,.120 wall.

Why use one?Because it looks nicer and weighs less!!!!More than a lil nicer,A TON NICER.Not to mention it gives you alot of room towards the tailshaft,you never know when you might need to hang a GV off of your trans

I want a chrome moly one. And only with one hump. And I would agree that there is a weight savings to be had. If I had enough interest I would make some. No idea on a price thought.
