Hi Folks
Who makes the best Driveshaft safety loop that is a direct bolt up? I don't want to drill any holes in the car.
Thanks
Bill :usa:

I have the SLP DSL, and it is pretty nice.

I have a Lakewood, this one hugs the tunnel wall
and seems least prone to interfere with the other
undercar stuff. Not pretty, not powder-coated,
but reasonably priced and solid with good fit-up.

Made my own with some 2" bar stock by looking at pics of off the shelf versions.

I've got a vote for the Lakewood. Only negative I've heard is that it doesn't seem to work well with the stock exhaust and y pipe.

I have the stock exhaust (I-pipe back) and the
SLP Y-pipe which is "sorta stock". I had to lose
the convertible X-member piece as the Lakewood
wanted its mount-holes. May figure a way to put
that back on with a bit of cobbling, but am looking
to fab my own undercar bracing instead right now.

I have the SLP and like it a lot --- even though I will never buy a single SLP part again, this would be the one exception. It fits nicely, bolts up easily, and cleared my exhaust stuff.

I have the BMR, I had to trim about 1/4" off one side to mount it. But it is solid and
no drilling required.

Hi Folks
I went with the majority and purchased the SLP drive shaft loop. It looks stronger than the other ones but that probably does not matter. Thanks for help and comments

PS: I agree with Classic about SLP, I have never has been happy with their products and support.
