Default Driveshaft loop with true duels

I recently purchased a driveshaft safety loop from a member on here and he told me it would work with true duels and its not even close to fitting with that exhaust setup. anyone know where i could get one that will work or who makes loops for this exhaust setup? thanks

Here is our version mounted into our test fit vehicle, we have many customers with dual exhaust running this loop.

It is $95 shipped.

Look at the picture to make sure it will fit for your application though as not every exhaust fits the same.

wow, that loop is nice, and that's an awesome price..... do you guys already have these ready, or are they manufactured upon order? I might have to get one, I'm planing on true duals with your guy's watts link. Care to shoot me a PM on the price picked up from you guys with my rearend?

We do try to keep these in stock and normally do have them and have a few still sitting on the shelf. With a rear end order we take care of our customers and give them a break and sell them for $80.

Like mentioning in the PM I am not sure if these items will work in conjunction with each other as there is just to many possibilities to try and test fit them all in house.

We have customers with other manufactures products and true duals and have not had an issue but I just can not give that guarantee that it will work in every situation possible.

notice lack of fuel lines. you will need to relocate them. And my DS loop was up against the tunnel so i felt more vibration and with my exhaust setup and 3.5" DS the MWC loop just didnt work. they have another design from what i saw on their site. But i still love my MWC 9" and TQ Arm!

You do not have to relocate the fuel lines it goes in behind them and is easily done with out removing anything. A drive shaft loop by itself doesn't give any vibration in the vehicle, now a torque arm mounted cross member with a drive shaft loop can but it would do that with or with out the loop touching the floor.

Ride height will also determine if there will be drive shaft issues with any loop on a vehicle.

When I first saw a pic of the MWC loop I thought what a PITA thats gonna be to get behind the fuel & brake lines. I installed mine today & it was VERY easy. With the torque arm & driveshaft out I removed the 3 line bracket to body screws & it slipped right in. I did take a chunk of heater hose & wrap the lines where they are against the loop to prevent rubbing through. Tucks right into the tunnel nice & out of the way, the best loop made for an Fbody. Very nice piece.
