TRUE DUALS - Spohn Bolt-In Driveshaft Loop? Since I got my TSP True Duals before I considered modifying my suspension setup, I now am blessed with the hassle of finding (and spending extra money on) suspension components that will work.
I'd like to run a dual-loop setup on my driveshaft, but as far as I can tell, that isn't possible with the true duals. En Lieu, I've found this driveshaft loop from Spohn:
Lakewood also produces a similar looking loop for our cars, although I'm not positive that it is adjustable like this Spohn unit.
Is anybody using this loop with true duals?

It looks like the Spohn is just a powder coated Lakewood loop. I love Sphon products but just and FYI, the Lakewood sells for under $50. Same thing, just zinc plated.
Anyway, I have a Lakewood, my x-pipe falls right where the loop is which kills ground clearance. They also rub so I wraped each of them with header wrap to keep them quiet. The Lakewood does have the best clearance of all the loops I have seen.

Get the lakewood DS safty loop. Why spend the extra money no one will see it anyway. I have the Lakewood and it fits perfect, I even have the tranny mount that moves the torque arm off the trans tail housing and it fits perfect. If your car is more for show than go get the spohn orther wise save the money and put it towards some more go fast parts. This is my own personal opinion, and you know what they say, opinions are like a$$holes everyone has them. lol
I don't have TSP duals, mine were made by an exhaust shop in town with an H-pipe.
Also, I'm not into show, I'm into passing the safety inspection at the track...(and good ground clearance) whatever works is what I'm looking for. If anyone can come up with a pic (Lakewood or Spohn or whatever) it would help, I would know right away if it'll work or not, and save me the hassle of ordering one and returning it...
I'd show you a pic of mine, but I removed my exhaust to pull my trans and I'm still waiting on my torque converter...

I will take some pics tomorrow when I get home and post them. I don't have my tranny or DS in the car right now but the exhaust is still in so you can see the clearance. I can tall you it tucks up just as well if not better than the stock cross bar that went in its place if that helps any.
...yeah, that's what I was afraid of...sounds like the TSP's are a little different than my duals. Since I had to remove that brace to fit my exhaust, I don't see how I'll be able to install anything else in it's place. I need to tuck up the exhaust closer anyways, I'll see if I can make this work. I'll check back for your pics...thanks.
I have the Spohn cross brace mounted TA with 2 DS loops and custom 3" TDs with an X, dumped at the axles...here's my thread...scroll down for pix...
