well I'm adding one more pic so that you can see how the ORY is. This is a Hooker ORY matched up to my Hooker Super Comps. It is now the second picture. i have no issues with the alignment of the LT's, ORY, or the Borla LS1 catback. Everything aligned perfectly until now that i install this and it hits.

I might have to do that. I have spoken with them both on here as well as on the phone. I just don't want to be hearing a lot of noise while driving my car.

What I would suggest is sending that back and purchasing a loop from Midwest Chassis and Performance. With my x-pipe I needed to run a special loop and Midwest had just came out with one meant for TD's at that time. It tucks up in the tunnel so there is all the clearance in the world. I think it was $90 or 95 shipped and would easily be your solution.

Here's a link to it:

no that isnt on his car. That is on another member here. If you click on the link it will show you.

Stealth i might have to go this route. I was originally wanting to got TD but when i couldn't find any DS safety loop that would work with TD i decided to get UMI's piece and stick with the ORY to pass inspection at the local track.
