Anyone out there make a DS loop that works with X-pipes? From what I have seen most X-Pipe people seem to be hung out to dry on that. I need to get a DS loop on my car to be NHRA legal and plus I'm scared to not run one on an 11 sec. car cutting 1.5-6 60's. Looking to see who makes one that works or may work? I know many x-pipes are different but if for the most part they "cross" in the same general area.
I'm a little skeptical with my setup

looking at the pic it doesn't look good for you. i went the other way and had my x pipe built around my ds loop and it tucks above it. good luck and your exhaust looks good

system in my car. It's very tight, but it works... just gotta fit it alittle...
I also have a BMR TQ arm...

umm... The BMR torque arm replaces the stock stamped steel torque arm that is currently under your car. This is BMR's PITCH...
Factory torque arms do a great job at robbing horsepower and torque and "dissolving" it into the chassis. Replace your weak, flexible stamped metal torque arm with a rigid BMR tubular version and put that power where it is supposed to be - the pavement! Made from MIG welded 1.25" x .120" tubing with heavy duty 1/4" mounting plates. Bolts directly in place of factory torque arm using all factory mounting locations. Requires no welding or drilling and clears all factory or aftermarket exhausts. The adjustable version comes equipped with a rear adjuster for adjusting pinion angle while the non-adjustable is preset at the optimal -2 degrees(in stock height applications). Both versions come with a new, low deflection polyurethane front mounting bushing. 1982-2002 V8 F-Body('82-'84 requires purchase of '85 or newer torque arm "clamshell" mount). Also fits all V6 F-body with one piece driveshafts. Available in Black Hammertone or red powdercoat.

Awesome man! I was actually talking to Ryan if you guys offered a DS Loop. I'll be up at State College a few times during the summer so I'll stop by and pick one up! If you by chance needed a car with an X-Pipe to mock one up or whatever I'd lend my car out to you guys, gives me an excuse to drive it lol.

I have a d/s loop that will fit this setup and anything else on the market. it is a tunnel form-fitting part that will provide plenty of clearance for any exhaust and torque arm configuration. it is a one-piece assy but is a bolt-on part. This is a brand new setup that we are just now putting in the mix of our top performing components. no pics available until next week though.

DS Loop PICS 
looks like its touching the DS here, but its just the angle of the picture
Image from the tunnel, it fits snug, REAL snug
You can see where the edge of it touches the exhaust... gonna have that fixed, its very minor.
its against the body on the top left, but its bolted to the body, so no rub...
Close up tunnel
