I run a LG Motorsports model. I had a Metco, which was excellent, but when I installed the LG Motorsports Y-pipe, which has a very large collector, the Metco hit, even shimming it considerably.....Very happy with the LG pipe, and the LG loop. WJ.

I have a red BMR Safety loop and it fits nice. I think I might be selling it though.

I believe Jeg's, Summit sell Lakewood, but I'd rather see a board Sponsor get your business--call T. Byrne Motorsports. WJ

Ok, I don't like the lakewood. I just checked it out on Jegs website. I think it will be a BMR or UMI.

I also like the spohn, but the $375 for look & torque arm are kind of steep.

Forget SPOHN,the driveshaft loop fit's like crap and the torque arm vibrates the crap out of the car.

I bet the lakewood is a 3 or 4pc loop isnt it? I hate that that type with all the bolts and nuts. The UMI loop is priced very well and fits with no problems.

The Lakewood is a 2 piece loop but it also has 2 adjustable tabs where it connects to the car so I guess it could be considered a 4 piece. The reason I liked it is it could be installed without remove the DS and it had great clearance for my true duals.
