Default Driveshaft loop and Flowmaster merge

What driveshaft loop are you guys using with the Flowmaster merge collector?

My BMR one will no longer fit... (for sale)

I'm thinking maybe I could order something like this and make my own loop..

my bmr came with big washers to shim it enough to fit most merges.

That's the one I have, 4" outlet. Any pics?

Also, I have a 3.5" driveshaft...from stock photos of the Lakewood DS loop, it looks like that might be a tight fit....

Thanks for the pics...Do you have a stock driveshaft or aftermarket?

Does it look like a 3.5" ds would clear?

One pic is with the stocker then I went to a Strange moly driveshaft. But it looks like enough room for a 3.5"

Thanks for the help.... It looks like that will be my next purchase. Now I just need to sell my BMR loop.

Bump.

Any other second opinions on this? People with 3.5" driveshafts?

I'm still worried about it..haha haven't ordered anything yet.


Edit: Intercooler, after looking at your pics...is your rearend unsupported? That might be why it looks like less than stellar clearance..hah
