Dude! In comparison, you're saying " what's this thing that's near my ankle", when in the grand scheme of things it's near your nuts.
Whats this? Next to the torque box. Looks like 2 replaceable pieces

FYI....when we were swapping in Tremec 3550's a lot I always broke the side tubes loose to make the crossmember adjustable. Never once rewelded one including the one in my car to this day.
Never really thought of that..... could have saved $100 when I bought my Stifflers! Live and learn!
I'm with Michael on this one. When I first looked at the pic and read "next to the torque box" I was scratching my head. I wondered how the transmission cross member got way back there.... 
Didn't want to say anything stupid so I looked again...Yep, transmission cross member...hmmmm...lol

See,...and if it were me, AS SOON AS I learned that a torque box is close to the rear end, and a cross member was in the middle of the car, I'd be changing stuff
But that's just me.

But then you wouldn't have all that extra room in that area, your trans would still flop around like a wet noodle when you go over speed bumps, and you wouldn't have the flexibility to use different transmissions. Mine was definitely worth the money I spent on it.
Ummm...why is that? I'm not against the other cross member at all. It does look better and free up space. But I've never had one move any. How could it?
Oh we aren't concerned about the actual problem anymore. There's at least a dozen more jokes to be had though!
I definitely like it, and it looks cool too!!!!! Lol. But I did have to put some heat on my h-pipe and give it a dimple, as it was hitting the crossmember. Tried everything before the torch came out, but always went back. I’m throwing most of the blame on the cheap CJ Pony H-pipe though.
