Driveshaft loops
Driveshaft loops Hi all, I am looking at driveshaft loops,
either the BMR loop, http://www.bmrfabrication.com/F-body...driveshaftloop (good deal on it right now)
or the UMI loop. http://www.umiperformance.com/2025.htm
I will be going true duals eventually, will my magnaflow X clear the loop? any one have any experience with these driveshaft loops? Like how much clearance they offer. I figure if they can clear a Flowmaster merge then they will probably clear the magnaflow X. Thanks for any help.

"I would get whatever one bolts in without driveshaft removal."
I don't think either of those do. On my BMR, I had to remove it.
FYI, my BMR bolts to the crossbrace; the pic you show looks welded ( Better! ) and I'm lowered. The BMR piece is the lowest hanging piece on the car and has all the scratches.

LM Performance sells three that are bolt-in two-piece driveshaft loops that can be installed without removing the driveshaft.
1) Lakewood (no pic, so here is a link)

2) G2
3) Spohn
Although it is the most expensive, the G2 appears to be the best. More sturdy, doubles to strengthen your chassis.

I just looked at the ones you suggested, I would rather go with the BMR, UMI, SLP stlye of loop. Pulling the driveshaft is no big deal.
What kind of clearance do you have between the y-pipe and driveshaft loop? Anyone using one of the ones I stated with a flowmaster merge or x-pipe?

Is this the one? It looks like it would be a real tight fit.

I have the Lakwood peice with my Mufflex Y (has FM merge collector) and it fits fine. It's a two-peice design so you don't have to remove the DS. It's no big deal to remove the DS, just make sure you jack up the rear so when you slide out the DS from the tranny, fluid won't come pouring out the tailshaft!

Another vote for the Lakewood. It's a quality piece. Fit fine with my old TD setup. My fabricator actually used the Lakewood as an intergral hanger for the TD's so they would be a true bolt-on exhaust.

That would make a good hanger location. Thanks for the idea
