So here is my post from 2014, where I shared pictures of my cross member idea.

See post #70.

And here are pictures from the DSE Facebook post from 2016.

I'm thinking the main part that separates these 2 cross members from all the ohers is that they both relocated the mounting location back a few inches instead of making a huge lever off of the factory location. I know I've seen a few T56 cross members that have double humps for the exhaust so that isn't anything new and they made a more elegant arc, (which they better, mine is ugly) so I'm not going to complain there. But if that is a C channel they used it will collect a bunch of debris!

If they did copy me I'll just take it as a compliment!
