Default UMI DS Loop

I went to install a new umi 2025 driveshaft loop last night and no way will it clear the exhaust. I bought the one for long tubes. Has anyone had an issue with this loop and texas speed 1/78 LT headers and ORY? Seems like right where the merge in the Y is where it will cross the tunnel..

Also this is a convertible car if that makes a difference.

What other options do i have?

I think people with convertibles were using the lakewood ds loop.

Midwest Chassis has the best fitting driveshaft loop on the market. It is a tunnel form-fitting design and works with any exhaust or torque arm.

This is why I haven't bought one yet. No way one of those will clear my tsp y pipe. It's just to low. And theirs no room to go any higher with it. I might try the Midwest chassis loop

Unfortunately, it's either MWC or Lakewood. I remind UMI every now and then that it's time for them to make that style
