Default Jeg's DS loop for duals?

which DS loop should I get that won't interfere? I did a search and found that one suggested the custom fit but I am really interested in seeing some pictures.

The universal (Jegs or Lakewood)- looks like I wil have to do some bending to fit the stock TA

or

The custom fit welded one (note: picture is of the Mustang one)

I am getting duals in a few weeks and would also like it to be a mounting point for the X pipe. Also, if anyone has pics of these in place I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

I'd recommend a Lakewood. It tucks up out of the way very well.

Don't you think that I will have to bend the Lakewood around the TA? I just figured the custom fit one would fit pretty good (just have to disconnect the driveshaft to get it on). Anyone have any pics?

I think wilwaxu is talking about the LS1 specific lakewood loop which I have as well. the loop is already out of the torque arm's way and the x-pipe will have to be very close to the floor pan to hit loop.

We had the Jester loop I believe when I had my 2.5" setup, but now I run a Lakewood with my 3" setup.

taqwache,
I wish I could but I don't know how to weld and can't bend the steel into arcs or else I would make one out of Stainless. Looks good though. Wanna make me one? LOL

Lynda,
Is that the universal for ~30 bucks or the custom fit Lakewood for ~50 bucks. I will be doing a 3" as well. Thanks

I'll probably modify my BMR somehow once my duals go on...the first Jegs one pictured above sure looks alot like the custom made one mentioned above...I'm curious to see if that would work.
