Default Best Driveshaft Loop
Any thoughts on the best bolt on driveshaft loop for fbodys?
Do some hang down too far?
How about exhaust clearance?

I don't know if it is the best but the loop from Jegs is the cheapest and it will clear long tube headers and aftermarket TQ arms.

I am not sure of the part #. It is in their catalog.

Lakewood had a new loop out for the 4th gen F-Bodies that looks very promising. I expect to get a few this week. I'll post some pictures when the arrive. No-drill, I believe.

My BMR DS loop works fine. I'm lowered, with FLP's and a random tech torque arm.

Any pics of the BMR loop? I have heard that it hangs down lower than the long tubes. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> I know how how much I hit those so I sure don't want anything lower than that.

I had a BMR on my 02 M6 Firehawk. Neither Speed Inc or a local garage could get it to not vibrate on the torque arm or y-pipe.

Now I have a G2 DS Loop and I haven't heard a peep.

Anyone know the inner diameter of the Jeg's/BMR/etc loop? I have a 3.5" driveshaft and wondering if it'll fit.

Only loop that fit w/my FLP's was the SLP loop, fits really nice. I did try the BMR but was unable to get it to fit.
