Default DSL question......

NO, get your mind out of the gutter! I didnt mean DI** Suc**** Lips! . DRIVE SHAFT LOOP. I need to get one of these ASAP and am not sure which one to run. I have FLP long tubes, a moser 9inch and and ACPT DS. I have heard a number of DSL's dont work right with out alot of drilling for adjustment. I am looking for a direct bolt in one. Any help would be appreciated.

I would look at having one custom made. The last thing you want is it hitting the CF driveshaft. I think verbs shredded his this way. I sold my CF ds so I don't have to worry about it anymore.

I put on Lakewood's loop a couple of weeks ago. Easy install and I also have FLP's. Bought loop at Summit, part number 18022. For 93-02 F-Body's only. Hope this helps. Also I do believe this is the only adjustable loop for our cars.

FWIW I got my BMR DSL to work today w/my FLP y-pipe... just had to use some washers to space the asembly down some (2 washers) and some longer bolts for the loop part.

Now the y-pipe has plenty of clearance, and doesn't hit, also seems to have fixed the banging floor board issue as there's more space between it and the floor of the car now.
