Default Driveshaft Safety Loop

I need a driveshaft safety loop that I can weld to the tunnel, or something that does not mount to the stock g brace location, because I bent mine with my spohn torque arm. Any ideas?

The best one I've seen is the one that Jegs has for the F-bodies. I have one on my car and I love it. It fits perfect and has absolutely no ground clearance issues.

Hands down! The new Lakewood #18022 Loop fits like a glove! Fits in existing bolt holes.. no drilling.

Moving to drivetrain.

I tried the BMR and the LG Motorsports, and neither one worked with my Mac ORP! Im told the SLP will work. Has anyone used the Lakewood with a Mac ORP??

Hey Paul,

I've got the lakewood if you want to hold it up to your car.

FYI, In the last 10 days I have tried 3 DSL...SLP, Metco and the WINNER Lakewood. The other 2 didn't work at all with my 3" tubing and custom Y-pipe. The Lakewood cost the least, fit perfectly and works the best!!

I had an SLP loop and it hit my y-pipe. It rattled so bad it sounded like I broke something. I am getting Lakewood version next.

I have the lakewood 18022 and mac headers with off road ypipe AND IT DID NOT FIT <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> WTF did you mac orp guys do to clear the y pipe? Did you drop the ypipe and then put it on or did it clear all together?
Me and a buddy pulled pried on the exhaust and didn't get the clearance needed. I also have the BMR Trak Pak on the car but this didn't get in the way of the loop, just the exhaust. I posted this question a week back and didn't get any help.
I have the SLP Loop coming, it will be here monday, so I will have two loops <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" />
Post up on what you did to get it to fit or post a few pics to help a bro out <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
Thanks,
J <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
