How many of you that have installed the 200 4R have used the stock GM crossmember? If you did use it, were you able to route the exhaust through the stock crossmember or do you need to replace the crossmember?

I believe that after 1977, the crossmember design changed and you'll need a different crossmember.. 1977 and earlier, the stock crossmember will work fine!

I used the stok one and still have stock exhaust system, however, I don't have the support that was attached to the TH400 trans to hold the exhaust from rattleing. I don't notice it very often.
